A house with a history

Hotel Karólína is located in “Sýslumannshúsið” (“House of the District Magistrate”), a historic house built in 1896 by a local doctor who resided on the upper floor and practiced medicine on the ground floor. Starting in 1931, the house served as the office and residence for numerous town’s District Magistrates, up until the year 2000, when the office was moved to a new building. A few families lived in the house during the first two decades of the millenninum, until we moved in.
