The Black Church of Búðir, also known as Búðakirkja, is a striking and iconic wooden church located on the remote Snæfellsnes Peninsula in western Iceland. The church is famous for its stark black color, which contrasts sharply against the surrounding landscape of lava fields, mountains, and the Atlantic Ocean.
The original church was constructed in 1703, but the current structure dates back to 1987. It was rebuilt following the exact design of the previous church, which had fallen into disrepair.
The church is a classic example of traditional Icelandic architecture, featuring simple, clean lines. The black color comes from the use of tar to protect the wooden exterior from the harsh Icelandic weather
