The French Hospital

For 70 years the French Hospital was located in Hafnarnes in Fáskskrúðsfjörður, having been moved from the village of Búðir in 1939. Originally it was built in 1903 as a hospital for the French sailors who frequented the banks off the shore during that period. The declining building was moved back to Fáskrúðsfjörður in the autumn of 2010.
