'Landscape & Local Story'


Fámjin 📍 is a small, picturesque village on the west coast of Suðuroy, the southernmost of the Faroe Islands. Nestled between steep mountains and the Atlantic Ocean, it is known for its colorful houses, dramatic coastal scenery, and peaceful atmosphere. The village church, built in 1876, is home to the very first Faroese national flag, the Merkið, which was designed by local students in Copenhagen and later became the official flag of the Faroe Islands.


'...The story of the Merkið is one of quiet patriotism: during World War II, when Denmark was occupied by Germany, the Faroese flag was used by local fishing vessels to distinguish them from Danish ships. It became a proud symbol of Faroese identity, and Fámjin, where the original flag is still preserved, remains a place of deep national significance, blending history, culture, and breathtaking natural beauty...'
