The Akranes Church was consecrated in 1896 and is the first and only church on the peninsula. However, there was already a church in Görðar, where the cemetery still stands today. In the Akranes churchyard, a bell tower commemorates the church in Görðar since the beginning of Christianity in Iceland. Icelandic Bishop Ásmundur Guðmundsson consecrated the tower in the summer of 1958.
