The old house (Restaurant Fjaran) was built in 1841 by the shopkeeper Matthías Jónsson Mathiesen and he built the southern house a year later. Both houses are still standing in their original form in the cluster of houses at the Viking Village and are usually referred to as the Fjaran or Fjörukráin. Over time these old houses have been used for many things , such as a small shop, a department store, general storage, smithy, sailmaking workshop and the first classes in maritime navigation were held there, it served as a horsestable, a barn and a later also as a pharmacy. #Hafnarfjordur #Hotel_in_Iceland #Iceland #OldHouse #Restaurant #Viking #Viking_Village
