Búðakirkja
It's no surprise Búðakirkja is one of the most photographed churches in Iceland given its stark color against the mountains and ocean. Originally built in 1703, the church was eventually torn down due to lack of use and reconstructed in 1987. The real draw may be how remote this church is—the only other thing in the village of Búðir is the adjacent hotel. Behind the church toward the ocean, there is a series of paths for hikers and walkers. After taking your photos of the church and its cemetery, escape the small crowd of tourists and walk along the water for a bit of solitude. If you're there during the summertime, it'll be just you and the roaming sheep.
