Nonnahús
Nonnahús was once the childhood home of the renowned children’s writer Reverend Jón Sveinsson (1857–1944), known to most as Nonni. The house dates from 1850; its cramped rooms and simple furnishings provide a poignant insight into life in 19th-century Iceland. A collection of old photographs and original books completes the display.

Davíðshús
Northwest of the centre, Davíðshús looks much like it did on the day that Icelandic poet laureate Davíð Stefánsson died in 1964. The lower floor serves as a writers’ retreat.
