Saksun is a small village situated in a natural amphitheater above a tidal lagoon on the island of Streymoy in the Faroe Islands. The village, known for its idyllic setting, features traditional Faroese architecture including houses with characteristic grass roofs.
The historic Saksun church, built in 1858, originally stood in Tjørnuvík but was dismantled and moved to Saksun. The village also includes Dúvugarðar, an old farmhouse that now serves as a museum providing insights into traditional Faroese farming life.
The surrounding landscape is marked by steep mountains, waterfalls, and the lagoon which was once a natural harbor before it filled with sand. The cultural heritage of Saksun reflects the traditional Faroese way of life, deeply connected to farming, fishing, and adapting to the challenging North Atlantic environment.
