Ancient Village or Settlement in Iceland

Þjóðveldisbær is a replica of the Viking Age Icelandic farm Stöng, which was buried under ash when Mount Hekla erupted in 1104.
The historically accurate reconstruction faithfully consists of three buildings - including a longhouse - and was begun in 1974 (until 1977) to commemorate the 1100th anniversary of the settlement of Iceland. The property is located at Þjórsárdalsvegur 32 and is intended to bring visitors closer to life on a Viking Age farm as realistically as possible.
