Vágur, the main town in the southern part of the island of Suduroy has seen a dramatic expansion in recent years. Like Tvøroyri, it drew many people in the first half of the 1900s. Signs of these great times can be seen in both towns; private houses with gardens and commercial buildings have been preserved, along with stately churches such as the large wooden church in Tvøroyri and the concrete church in Vágur.
