The Last Turf Church of Hof

Like a scene out of fantasy movie, the little Village of Hof is known for its turf houses- houses that were built with turf roofs to protect settlers from bad weather.  Such a building is the Hofskirkja Church, which was the last turf church to be built in this style and is one of six turf churches in Iceland still standing. The churches’ charming exterior and picturesque surrounding will make you want to look for elves and trolls!
