A traditional farmhouse occupied by more than 17 different generations. This farmhouse has remained steadfast against the test of time. With elements of a traditional Faroese house, the roofs are made of grass, a great form of insulation for the home. A style of roofs that are still commonly utilised, this very technique is unique to the Faroese.

Reigning as the oldest farmhouse in the world, what makes it even more special is that it is still inhabited. Transformed to a museum, it is often open in the summers as they welcome visitors from all walks of life, taking a peek into what life was like before. The Patursson family who has gone through 17 generations in this house have now warmly extended their invitation to the public, encouraging them to see the farmhouse for themselves. Sheeps, cattle and horses frolick around here, their joyful presence brightening up the environment. Showcasing their many sepia-toned photos, they depict the lives of the previous generations, an insight into the lives of those born ages ago. A life they led so differently compared to now, stoves used last time were previously a peat-burning cast iron stove. The huge contrast to the sleek stove tops we now own, it is invigorating to understand the history of others before us, ensuring we are not imposing upon them.
