Magnus Cathedral, Kirkjubøur, Streymoy Island, the Faroes

the ruins of Magnus Cathedral (c. 1300)

Work on Magnus Cathedral began c. 1300 and may never have been completed.  It has been suggested that the site was originally settled by Irish monks; the evidence is unclear, but the name of the village. Kirkjubøur, has been thought to contain the Gaelic word for church.
