The Museum Church

The Museum Church

The church in the Árbær Open Air Museum is of a type common throughout the country in the 19th century. It originated on the farm Silfrastaðir in Skagafjörður, where the turf-built church was erected in 1842. In 1896 it was dismantled, and a new church was erected. Timber from the old church was used to build an addition to the farmhouse, a living room/bedroom used until 1950. The addition was dismantled in 1959, and the timber was moved to the Árbær Open Air Museum. The pulpit is from the old church at Silfrastaðir.

Consecrated in 1960, the museum church is popular for christenings and weddings, and regular services are held there in summer and during Advent.

The museum church can be hired for ceremonies. Here is the rate list.
The church seats 40-50 people.

Dillon´s House

Dillon´s House

Dillon´s house was built in 1835, on the corner of Túngata and Suðurgata. The house derives its name from the man who had it built, Arthur E.D. Dillon. Dillon´s house was moved to the Árbær Open Air Museum in 1960. It houses the museum coffee-shop during the museum opening hours and is also used for small social gatherings.

Dillon´s house can accommodate up to 50 people for meetings. Here is the rate list.
