J贸n Sigur冒sson Memorial Museum

The Westfjords

LoginSave

Farmstead Hrafnseyri is the birthplace (on 17 June 1811) of J贸n Sigur冒sson, the architect of Iceland鈥檚 independence. The interesting, modern J贸n Sigur冒sson Memorial Museum outlines his life and has a reconstruction of his turf house, a 19th-century church and a small cafe. It's on a beautiful point with fjord views.

The museum is signed off rutted Rte 60, which runs along the north side of Arnarfj枚r冒ur. The road between Hrafnseyri and 脼ingeyri is closed for six to eight months in winter. Check www.road.is.
