Haldórsvík is a charming coastal village on the northern shores of Streymoy, offering breathtaking views of Sundalagið and the surrounding mountains. Known for its distinctive octagonal church, the only one of its kind in the Faroe Islands, which stands as a unique architectural feature in the region.
Built in 1856, the church houses an altarpiece depicting The Last Supper, painted by Faroese artist Torbjørn Olsen. This artwork is particularly notable for featuring well known Faroese figures instead of traditional apostles.
The peaceful atmosphere of the village, traditional Faroese houses, and stunning natural surroundings make it an ideal place to experience authentic island life. From Haldórsvík, visitors can admire Slættaratindur, the highest mountain in the Faroe Islands, and experience nearby attractions such as Fossá Waterfall, the tallest waterfall in the country, cascading dramatically down the cliffs, making Haldórsvík a perfect stop for those wanting to explore the northern part of Streymoy.
