Breiddalssetur, Research, and Heritage center, occasionally also called „the Walker Centre“, is housed in the oldest building of Breiddalsvik, the old cooperative „Gamla Kaupfelagid“, built in 1906.
Breiddalssetur facilitates earth and literary research activities focused on East Iceland, as well as hosting exhibitions on geology, linguistics and local history.
