Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Sandav gur Church is a distinctive red-roofed church in the town of Sandav gur in the Faroe Islands built in 1917. A memorial was erected outside the church to one of the many ships that were sunk during the Second World War. The church is known for its runestone. The inscription on the Sandav gur stone tells that the Norwegian Torkil Onandarson from Rogaland was the first settler on this place. It is believed to be dated back to the 13th century.
