Magnus Cathedral is a ruined cathedral in the village of Kirkjubøur on the island of Streymoy in the Faroe Islands. The ruins are the largest medieval building in the Faroe Islands.

Very impressive. Even the village is worth a tour. Quite spooky especially at dawn or sunset. A piece of local history

Visited September 2024. Truly magnificent. A twenty minute drive from the centre of Tórshavn transports you back eight hundred years. The Gothic styled St Magnus Cathedral 'Kirkjubømúrurin' dating back to 1300 is as awe-inspiring as I could have imagined. Surprisingly this is the newer of the two with Saint Olav's Church 'Ólavskirkjan', built before 1200, stood yards away. Saint Olav's surprisingly is the white one. Add to the mix stunning views of Streymoy, Hestur and Sandoy. Fabulous.

One of the oldest Christian churches in the islands. The only you have to pay 50DKK is the entrance to the old house beside the old church. For me the house was not worth it.

Well worth a visit if you are near Torshavn anyways. Nice drive there through narrow steep winding roads. Near a truly authentic little village, what a view to"live" in. No admittance fee or lines to get "in". Free Parking near by. Extremely windy when I was there, so hold on to your hats.
