Christianskirkjan is the exceptionally beautiful church in Klaksvík.
The church is dedicated to the memory of the Faroese fishermen who died at sea during the Second World War and that the church was built in memory of the Danish king Christian the Tenth (1870-1947).
The roof construction is the same as in the Faroese smokehouses (kitchens) and village churches. This roof construction proves to be particularly suitable for church buildings, as there is better acoustics in this church than in any other of similar size.
The large church room gets its special touch from the all-dominating altarpiece.
Under the roof beams hangs a Faroese boat - áttamannafar -, a boat for 8 rowers. This is the last boat built for the rectory in Viðareiði

Viðarlundin úti í Grøv" is a beautiful little park situated only a 20 minutes walk from the apartment. This is also one of the few places on the archipelago where there are trees.
A small river runs through the park with little bridges crossing it and during sommertime you can find children with their families having fun in the river.
There are two roads leading to the park. I will recommend you to take the "old road" as we call it in Klaksvík. The old road is not open for cars and here you are most likely to mingle with locals walking their dogs.
