The Vikur Church in Mountain is the oldest church building, but the first congregation in the North Dakota Icelandic Communities was formed in Gardar in November 1880. The Gardar Pioneer Lutheran Church was erected in 1888, along with its adjacent cemetery. The building is now maintained as a memorial to the pioneers of the community. It is used occasionally for funerals, weddings, and the annual Memorial Day service.
Gardar Cemetery: Although the Gardar Cemetery was established along with the Pioneer Church in 1888, it was later incorporated as a separate organization to benefit the entire community.
