Experience life at the vicarage.
The Old Farmhouse Laufas is a renowned church site and chieftain‘s residence from the settlement (874-930). Laufas church was built in 1865, among its special items is a pulpit from 1698.
The current farmhouse is a good example of a wealthy vicarage from 1853-1882 furnished with household items and utensils from the period. One of Laufas’s characteristics is the bride´s chamber where women prepared for the big event.
