What you can expect

For centuries, turf houses were the homes of the majority of Icelanders. The turf farm at Keldur is an excellent example of old Icelandic architecture, that blends seamlessly into the natural landscape.

Despite its age, the turf far at Keldur is one of the largest preserved turf farms in south Iceland.
From the hut there is an underground tunnel thought to date from the 12th or 13th century and was probably built during a time of conflict.

In addition to these, several outhouses have been preserved.

Keldur is one of the largest preserved turf farms in south Iceland, owned by The National Museum of Iceland.

Open daily from June 1st - August 30th.

Book your visit into the past and discover Icelandic history.
