At the northwest corner of Provincial Road 222 and 130N in the Municipality of Bifrost-Riverton is the site of the former Breidavík Lutheran Church, built in 1906 and serving the community until 1983. An earlier community meeting house used as church, school (Baldur School), and hall was also located nearby, along with the Hnausa East and Hnausa West cemeteries. Some of the foundation stones are still visible.
