Funnings Kirkja

Funningur, with its landmark, Funnings Kirkja, sits amid one of the most picturesque settings in the Faroe Islands. This traditional Faroese wooden church, with a distinctive black and white exterior and grass roof, perfectly complements the dramatic scenery of steep mountains and the nearby fjord. A prime photography spot is from the hill opposite the church, capturing the building with the backdrop of the village and the encompassing nature. The area around Funningur is excellent for capturing both sunrise and sunset, with the changing light offering a dramatic effect on the landscapes and the fjord. Late spring and early summer are ideal for visiting, as the days are longer, and the landscape is vibrant. Remember, the weather can change quickly, so be prepared for all conditions. Parking is limited, and being respectful of this small community by not obstructing local traffic or private properties is crucial.
