説明

Delve into the early history of the Faroe Islands in the village of Kirkjubøur as a prelude to exploring the oldest section of Tórshavn. Kirkjubøur was among the first areas settled in the Faroes and became an important religious and cultural center in the Middle Ages. The imposing ruins of the 13th-century Saint Magnus Cathedral stand as a reminder of that period, and as you will see it still dominates Kirkjubøur. You will gain a different historical perspective at the turf-roofed Roykstova Farmhouse Museum, which was built about two centuries earlier, making it one of the oldest wooden buildings in Europe. The wood is supposedly driftwood from Norway as there are no forests in the volcanically formed Faroes. The same family has occupied the farm for 17 generations. To further enhance your understanding of the islands, you will take a leisurely walk through Tinganes, the historical heart of Tórshavn, the delightful capital of the self-governing Faroes.
