The present Skarð church was built in 1931. The parish shares a priest with four other church parishes (Árbæjar, Haga, Kálfholts, Marteinstungu) under the name Fellsmúlaprestakall.[1] This parish and church is called "Skarðskirkja á Landi" to disambiguate from other places named Skarð. The original Roman Catholic church was devoted to archangel Michael.[2]
