In 1816, the national Lutheran church decommissioned the church at Budir. A woman named Steinunn Sveinsdottir protested, and received permission to rebuild the church herself in 1848. The door ring is inscribed with the words "this church was built in 1848 without the support of the spiritual fathers." Sveinsdottir is buried in the churchyard.
