Kirkjubøargarður, Medieval farmhouse in Kirkjubøur, Faroe Islands.
The farmhouse Kirkjubøargarður contains several distinct sections, including the roykstova smoke room and the loftstovan library room from the 11th century.
The structure served as the episcopal residence and seminary of the Diocese of the Faroe Islands from 1100 until the Protestant Reformation in 1538.
The Patursson family has maintained continuous residence in Kirkjubøargarður for seventeen generations, dating back to their first occupancy in 1550.
Visitors can purchase fresh mutton and beef directly from the working farm, which continues to raise sheep, cattle, and horses.
The roykstova section features original wooden construction materials that arrived as numbered driftwood bundles from Norway during its initial assembly.
