​

the story

This cottage was originally located and

first built in a summerhouse area just

outside of Borgarnes. The former

farmer in Fljótstunga, Bjarni H.

Johansen, built this house for his

family and later brought it to Fljótstunga

farm. It was moved to the top of the hill

giving its large windows a whole new

purpose.

​the name

The 'hey' part of Heygarður simply

means hay, as in grass that has been cut

and dried as food for farm animals. The

'garður' part means a kind of a fence or

a stack of rocks that used to be stacked up and around the hay so that the horses or the sheep could not get to it. It also means garden.
