The Setberg Church (Icelandic: Setbergskirkja [ˈsɛtˌpɛrksˌcʰɪr̥ca, -ˌpɛr̥s-]) is a small, towerless wooden church located in Setberg. The church was erected in 1892 by Sveinn Jónsson.[1] Although the current church was built in the 19th century, there has been a church in Setberg since the 12th century.
Prior to the Icelandic Reformation the patronage of the Setberg Church was the holy cross.
