Snorrastofa
Next to the Snorralaug hot spring you'll find Snorrastofa, the main residence of Snorri Sturluson and the site of his grisly murder. Snorri's legend looms large in European medieval history: not content with single-handedly preserving and shaping Viking mythology, he was also a cosmopolitan Renaissance man, poet, lawyer, swordsman, and politician. This simple museum pays tribute to the writer of Scandinavia's most treasured literature, and visitors can also pick up souvenirs and books on Icelandic history and culture.
