Summary edit

Description Þingvallakirkja er í Þingvallaprestakalli í Árnesprófastsdæmi. Talið er að kirkja hafi verið byggð á Þingvöllum skömmu eftir kristnitökuna árið 1000 og hennar er víða getið í fornritum. Ólafur konungur digri gaf við til kirkju á Þingvöllum árið 1015 og mikla klukku, sem enn er til, segir Snorri Sturluson í Heimskringu um 1230. Líklega var þetta norsk stafakirkja, sem var nefnd Þingmannakirkja, og stóð á svipuðum slóðum og núverandi kirkja. Innan kirkjugarðs stóð bændakirkja að auki. Elzti máldagi kirkju þar er frá síðari hluta 14. aldar. Þá var hún helguð Ólafi helga. Einn kunnasti klerkur, sem sat á Þingvöllum var Alexíus Pálsson, síðar síðasti ábóti í Viðeyarklaustri.
