Núpsstaður in South-Iceland is home to a unique historical landmark--the smallest Turf Church, Núpsstaðakirkja. This turf church was built no later than 1657 and the oldest part of the church dates back as far as the year 1200. The National Museum of Iceland declared it as a protected building in 1930 and it has been preserved for over 200 years as a historical monument. Mt. Lómagnúpur is just east of the farm where visitors can see swans on a pond below and the massive cliff-like mountain towering above. Before ring-road 1 opened, Hannes Jónsson landpóstur helped travellers traverse Skeiðarársandur sandplain while also carrying mail all the way to Djúpivogur. Adventurers seeking out this magnificent site will find many more wonders such as large dilapidated turf outhouses, Núpsstaður farm which has been in the same family since 1730, and a mysterious story from the Saga of Njáll connected to the mountain.
