Bathroom breaks are at a premium and it was great to have a clean bathroom. The views of town are wonderful. You get your bearings and get to appreciate the residents' lives. You nite that churches hear are conservative and simply adorned little if any stained glass due to the cold. If you come this way the doors are open to you as are the people just say takk.

Visiting the church is a great photo spot and gives you a nice view of the town, the old part of it, and the newer part of it.

We took a few minutes to visit the modern white church in Stykkisholmur. The architecture is modern, and the interior and exterior features both fit in with the landscape. The organ is like a work of art--we were sorry not to hear it. We could also see the Chuch from the ferry--its setting is lovely. Free to visit....only takes a few minutes. Well worth it.

We stopped here for lunch and a walk. Buildings tidy and well maintained, everyone smiling it seemed. Took in the volcano museum which has interesting minerals and volcano centric art, some pieces quite powerful. This is an active harbour town and there is lots to see. Worth a visit

Beautiful organ and I loved the austere interior. The view from the top is very nice (but be prepared for wind)

I just adore Icelandic church architecture. This church is another great example and has a great view over the sea and Stykkisholmur. Apparently has great acoustics but was closed the day we went.

The Vatnasafn Library of Water is a unique museum, created by an artist, Roni Horn. It includes columns of glacial water from each of Iceland's 13 glaciers (now there are only 12 left, due to global warming). The views overlooking the town and harbor alone are worth the visit, and the artistic nature of the columns' placement and the words on the floor make it an ideal visit.The red-headed docent has a lovely operatic voice, and may show off the fine acoustics for you.

of Icelandic modern architecture, and the view towards Styykis harbour is great. Nevertheless, we still prefer the smaller but more unique "triangular" church in Olafsvik. Don't miss it if you're doing the Snaefellsnes round trip.

worth visiting not just due to unusual (for churches) shapes and outfits, but also for the view over the town and harbour.

New church. Nice tomsee that in Iceland they still build them. Back home we don't know what to do with them anymore. Even the organ was brand new.
