Kirkjubøur
Kirkjubour is the southernmost village on Streymoy.
It is located on the west coast and has a view towards the island Hestur.
The Magnus Cathedral normally referred to as ‘Mururin’ (the wall) was built around year 1300. If the construction of the cathedral was actually completed or not is not known today. Today there is only the 1½-meter thick wall remaining. The whitewashed ‘Olavskirkjan’ is the oldest of the three churches in Kirkjubo. It was built in the 12th century and is the only church from the middle ages still used in the Faroe Islands
