About

About Stekkjarkot — Reykjanes Museum of Heritage

Stekkjarkot is a restored turf, stone and timber cottage that shows the modest living conditions once common in coastal Reykjanes.

One of the best small-scale heritage sites for understanding everyday domestic life on Reykjanes before modern housing.

Stekkjarkot is part of the Reykjanes Museum of Heritage and preserves a traditional cottage built from turf, stone and timber. The older section, with an open hearth, dates to the 19th century, while the newer section reflects later improvements such as floorboards and a coal-fired stove. The restored cottage opened to the public in 1993 after restoration work. Visit Reykjanes currently lists access by request and free admission, so confirm arrangements before making a special trip.
