Shelter Originals: Churches of Iceland
(25 mins) Iceland / Australia 2023
October 23
When Christianity arrived in Iceland in 1000 CE, the construction of the new churches quickly became the focal point of local communities. But on this remote part of the Northern Atlantic, these houses of worship would not be the dazzling & gilded constructs of classic Europe. Instead, a modest but unique design style would emerge. Designed & constructed with limited building materials at hand, these captivating feats of craftsmanship would prove instrumental in shaping the country’s architectural landscape. From the tiny wooden chapel Víðimýrarkirkja, built with driftwood from Siberia and roofed with turf; to the beautifully sculpted concrete curved dome & pyramid of Bjarnaneskirkja, that opens its doors to a stunning glacier view; and to the breathtaking triangular design shapes and spire of Mosfellskirkja, nestled in its volcanic valley surrounds; Shelter Originals: Churches of Iceland is an enchanting journey of discovery into the world of Iceland’s sacred spaces. From the team behind Tiny Spaces: Iceland, immerse yourself with stunning sweeping aerial visuals, intimate inside looks, and interviews with local experts into the fascinating history of Iceland’s churches.
