The ferry to Selatra on Eysturoy used to go from here. That was until the bridge was built between the islands. Hvalvk Population 208 Hvalvk is located in a valley on Streymoy #39;s east coast. It shares the valley with another village called Streymnes. The church in Hvalvk is a traditional wooden church from 1829. It is the oldest one of its kind in the Faroe Islands. The church is built with wood bought from a ship that ran aground in Saksun. The church was built because the old church from 1700 was ruined in a storm. The pulpit originates from the church in Trshavn and is from 1609. Some notches can be seen in the pulpit. These are said to be cuts from the swords of French pirates who robbed the church in Trshavn in 1677. In the sea 10-20 meters of the shore of Hvalvk the wreck of an old wooden ship can be seen.
