Hoyvíksgarður Open-air Museum
Explore Hoyvíksgarður Open-air Museum, a 200-year-old Faroese farmhouse near Tórshavn, offering a unique glimpse into history.
Hoyvíksgarður is located in beautiful surroundings just outside the city centre of Tórshavn. Here, you can experience an authentic Faroese farm with a farmhouse and several accompanying outbuildings, such as a barn, a smithy, and a potato house, to name a few.
Built in 1812, this over 200-year-old farmhouse radiates charm and a nostalgic atmosphere. Today, the main house has been staged to resemble a household from the 1920s.
