101 Year Old Man's Abandoned Iceland Turf Farm House - UNESCO World Heritage

Support our mission of bringing history back to life ►   / brosofdecay   ----------- STORY Join us on a journey to the enchanting Island of Iceland, where we found one of the last remaining Icelandic Turf Farms. Although this place is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, it is sadly mostly abandoned now. As people settled across Iceland, there was a need to help them cross the challenging glacier that separated the east and west of the island. The family who settled here in the 19th century became experts at navigating the challenging terrain, and their skills were crucial for anyone wanting to cross the glacial river. For about 200 years, generations of this family skillfully transported travelers and earned a living. The last ones to do this were two brothers born in 1907 and 1910. After many decades, the government finally built a bridge across the river, and the brothers could enjoy their well-earned pension. Both of them lived here until their final days, with the oldest brother passing away at 97 and the youngest one at 100 in 2010. The farm is abandoned but occasionally, there are small tours, but it's unclear who manages them or owns the place. The farm is preserved exactly as it was when the brothers passed away, with all their belongings still in the house, including family photos, their smithing shop, and even the sleds they used to navigate the challenging terrain. Even more unique is the smallest turf church in the world located on the property, built in the late 1600s. Notably, the two brothers are buried in the backyard of the church. ----------- 0:00 History of the Abandoned Turf Farm 2:45 Tour inside the farmhouse 24:15 Tour of outside the farmhouse 25:00 Tour & History of the Smallest Turf Church 31:35 Tour of the barns 42:30 Garage with car 44:20 Last barn 46:20 Memorial of Núpsstaður ----------- SOCIALS: TikTok ►   / brosofdecay   Instagram ►   / brosofdecay   Facebook ►   / brothersofdecay   ---------------------------------- Support us: Patreon ►   / brosofdecay   Paypal ► https://paypal.me/lesleyhouben Filmed by Lesley & Danny Edited by ES Forgotten (Danny) ‪@ES.Forgotten‬ 200 Years of UNESCO History Abandoned in Iceland #abandoned #explore #exploring
