The gabled farm was one of the largest and most profitable livings of its kind. There was a Catholic
church here long before the Lutheran Reformation in the early 16th century. The early church
was dedicated to St. Martin and contained a magnificent altar cloth that is now in the Louvre. The
current church dates from 1865. In the churchyard is the15th century grave of Sigrid Hrafnsdóttir
inscribed with a runic text. In the gatehouse hang two ancient bells, the larger cast in Denmark in 1663
and the smaller in 1740.
