Nordic House
Norðurlandahúsið
A modern cultural center with a turf roof, hosting concerts and exhibitions. The building itself is a landmark.
The Nordic House opened in 1983, built with funding from the Nordic countries. Its undulating turf roof blends into the surrounding hillside, making it the most representative modern building in Tórshavn. Inside are a concert hall, a theater, exhibition spaces, and a café, and it hosts concerts, plays, and art exhibitions year-round. You can see the exterior for free. Performances require tickets. It is about a 15-minute walk from the city center.
