Dyrnes

Dyrnes was a farm and church in the Norse Eastern Settlement of southern Greenland, near the entrance to Eriksfjord. In his account of Greenland, the fourteenth-century church official Ivar Bårdsson described Dyrnes as the largest parish in the country. Its church shared ownership of an island at the mouth of the fjord with the cathedral at Gardar. The farms and churches of the Eastern Settlement stood among long fjords on Greenland's southwestern coast, despite the region's name.
