Among the church’s precious belongings are two large copper candlesticks with the engraving: “Rev. Sveinn Simonarson Anno salutis 1604”, donated by the Rev., the father of bishop Brynjolfur Sveinsson. He also donated a beautifully carved baptismal imported from Germany. The most important of the few epitaphs in the church is the one dedicated to the memory of the county’s national hero Jon Sigurdsson. The present baptismal is the work of woodcarver Agust Sigmundsson. Two ancient chandeliers and church bells decorate the church. The altarpiece is a replica of a painting by Carl Bloch. A wooden statue of the Holy Mother with the child and Anna, her mother also add to the serenity. This statue probably dates back to around 1500 and was imported from Lubeck, Germany. The pax table is probably made from walrus ivory.
