Glaumbaer is a protected turf farmhouse and museum site in Skagafjordur, North Iceland. Its corridor-style farmhouse contains 13 interconnected buildings and covers about 730 square metres.
How the Glaumbaer farmhouse is built
The farmhouse walls use turf, stone at the base, and timber for framing and interior panelling. Its 13 buildings connect through a corridor-style layout. For regional context, read the North Iceland guide.
