Stykkishólmur
Harbour - 2015
Stykkishólmur is a fishing town located by Breiðafjörður Bay on the north of Snæfellsnes peninsula,
and is surrounded by wonderful views of the innumberable islands.
According to local legend there are only two things in the world that cannot be counted: the stars in the night sky and the craggy islets in the bay here.
We climbed the magnificent basalt cliff for the view.
Stykkishólmurskirkja
Stykkishólmur's futuristic church is a striking white structure with a sweeping bell tower that looks like a ship's vent or a giant vertebra.
It was consecrated in 1980 and is also used as a concert hall.
The interior features hundreds of suspended lights and a large painting of the Mother and Child floating in the night sky.
