Hrunakirkja is the community church for Hrunamannahreppur. It was built in 1865 out of iron-clad timber and seats 200 people. Catholic churches in the area were dedicated to Mary the mother of God, Archbishop Thomas, St. Thorlac, and St. Catherine.
Tungufell Church has been an outlying church since 1819 and in Hrepphólum since 1974.
The altar table is among many valuable items of the church. Stories say that the church once stood on a cliff called Hruni and one can see a human face Hrunakarlinn in the rocks.
„Once upon a time there was a minister at Hruni in Árnessýsla county, who was fond of jollification and partying.
When the congregation had gathered in the Hrunakirkja church on Christmas Eve, instead of saying Mass for the first part of the night, this minister would customarily hold a big dance for the churchgoers.
There was drinking, card playing, and other types of indecent gaiety until the wee hours of the morning.
