Grafarkirkja. The oldest turf church in Iceland. 

From the time of settlement until the early to mid 1900s, everyone in Iceland lived in turf houses. Turf insulates well, and was built up around wooden or stone frames. This turf church was originally built in the late 1600s, and it looks truly magical.
