Setberg (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈsɛtˌpɛrk]) is a "Kirkjustaður" (lit. 'church place') located on the Snæfellsnes peninsula, in the Grundarfjörður municipality.
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.
