    A short drive south from Blonduos is the Thingeyrar Church, built 1864-1877. This church is one of the most noteworthy churches in Iceland. It is built in the Romanesque style fram granite blocks almost one meter thick. The ceiling is painted with 1000 golden stars and the church has 1000 small windowpanes. Thingeyrar was through the ages one of the largest estates in the county. The farm and the church can be seen from Highway no. 1. It was decided to build a monastery at Thingeyrar, the first in Iceland, and it was was founded in 1133. It followed the monastic order of Benedicts of Nurcia but the old church was dedicated to Saint Nicholas. We know that a this monastery, which has now completely disappeared, many of the Icelandic sagas of old were written.
