Arngerðareyri Kastalinn is an intriguing site located in the Westfjords region of Iceland. This castle, though not as famous as some of its European counterparts, carries a unique charm and historical significance. The former farm house that still stands is a stately stone house in the style of a castle, and is commonly known as Kastalinn. It was originally built for Sigurð Þórðarson, the trading company manager of the Kaupfélag Nauteyrarhrepps, in 1929. The building had six bedrooms, running water, a balcony, a water toilet, tiles decorated the floor and marble that was specially ordered from Italy for the stairs. The house was mostly abandoned in 1966, but has been slowly renovated since being acquired by new owners in 2012.The Westfjords are characterized by dramatic landscapes, with towering mountains, deep fjords, and rugged coastlines, making them one of the most picturesque areas of Iceland. Arngerðareyri itself is situated in a relatively remote part of the country, which adds to its allure and the sense of adventure associated with visiting it, and it is a perfect place to see and photograph the Northern Lights due to the absence of city lights.
