This church belongs to the Bolungarvik benefice in the Isafiord deanery.  The estate was a parsonage in the past and served the Jokulfiords Bay area.  This was probably the most difficult part of the country for any Reverend to serve, because of both its size and the mountainous landscapes.

There was a chapel on the Furufiord cove, and for a period of 10 years, the Reverend served the Unadsdalur benefice in the Snaefjallastrond area.  The present church was built late in the 19^th century.
