Brattahlid/Qassiarsuk

Brattahlid is a working farm with lots of history dating back to the 10th century. It is also a World Heritage Site. Many people come to visit the site or stay on the farm in 2 youth hostels and go hiking to the glacier or towards the ice cap.

We were just there for a few hours this morning, just enough time to visit the place, but not quite enough time...

We visited a partly reconstructed sod house, a reconstructed sod house which is a museum, and reconstructed tiny sod church. There were ruins of stables, halls, and other farm dwellings. We visited a wooden church and the former house of Otto Frederiksen, who started the farm.

It was an interesting place and well worth the visit.Read more
