Reconstructed Farmhouse (Herjólfsbær) at Herjólfsdalur, Heimaey
Reconstructed Building
The valley of Herjólfsdalur was excavated in the 1970s, with the oldest remains dated to the ninth century: a century older than the first inhabitant (Herjólfur Bárðarson) mentioned in the historical records. This reconstructed farmhouse is located in the same valley and is intended to illustrate the architectural style of the settlement period.
