$The land on which the house stands was of type known in Icelandic as purrabúð, which meant that tis occupants were forbidden from keeping any kind of domestic animals, including cows and sheep. As a result, they were completely dependent on the sea for their existence.\nDuring its 37 years of habitation, Stekkjarkot was occupied by only 3 couples and their families. Built during the years 1855-1877, it was abandoned only 30 years later. Refurbished in 1917, it was abandoned again in 1927. The high point of its history as a farm probably came in 1921, when its tennants finally managed to gain permission to keep a few sheep.$

$Flatey is a remote island of the western islands, a cluster of about forty large and small islands and islets located in Breidafjordur on the northwestern part of Iceland. In terms of size, Flatey is some two kilometers long and about one kilometer wide, of which most is flat land (hence its name, meaning flat island in Icelandic), with scarcely any hills to be found.\nThe island has only a single road, which leads from the ferry dock to the so-called old village, which consists of some restored and traditionally painted old houses of the island's original inhabitants. Beautifully preserved old houses in cheerful colours embody the spirit and prosperity that the island enjoyed as the commercial and fishing hub of Breidafjordur during its heyday around 1900.\nThe island inhabits the oldest and smallest library in Iceland, established in 1864. Flatey also has a church, built in 1926.\nFlatey Island, Breidafjordur, Iceland.$
