The church of Mykines was inaugurated 1879

Mortan Andressen built the church of Mykines in 1862. In 1877 the church was severely damaged due to stormy weather.

The restoration process of the church was complicated and long in coming. Nevertheless, in October 1879 the church of Mykines was finally re-inaugurated by the priest Hjort.

Since the restoration in 1879 the church has not undergone any major changes.
