Minjasafnio a Bustarfelli - Bustarfell Museum

Bustarfell museum is an ancient manor, and one of the largest estates in Vopnafjorður. The same family has lived in Bustarfell since 1532. The turf house has a long and complex history, as the structures have been adapted to changing conditions. As seen today, the Icelandic turf house is the product of centuries of interactions between Icelandic nature and the trends of different periods. Like other turf structures, the farmhouse at Bustarfell has evolved over the centuries. The oldest part of the present building dates from after a disastrous fire in 1769. The Hjaleigan Cafe, adjacent to the old farmhouse is open daily during the summer season. The museum is open daily through the summer, 10:00 – 17:00.
