Skriðuklaustur is a truly unique blend of culture and history, located in Egilsstaðir. It boasts its own monastic ruins, along with a museum dedicated to the famous author Gunnar Gunnarsson, a gift shop, an art gallery and a local food restaurant. The ruins are easily accessible from the main building and each room has been designed with fun and educational information boards. Visitors can also explore an interactive virtual reality experience that takes them on a fascinating journey through the Middle Ages. Lastly, Klausturkaffi, the café downstairs, offers an irresistible all-inclusive buffet filled with delicious Icelandic dishes that will satisfy everyone's cravings. Skriðuklaustur is sure to be an unforgettable experience for the whole family.
