Keldur Turf House in South Iceland - is this the oldest House in Iceland?

I adore turf houses, also called sod houses, they are so typical Icelandic. I have written a long travel-blog listing all the turf houses in Iceland. But, I think that it is proper to write a special travel-blog about the oldest turf house in Iceland, the historical farm of Keldur in South Iceland. Keldur is one of only very few preserved turf houses in South Iceland, the other ones are the turf house at Austur-Meðalholt, which is now a museum, and at Skógar Museum you will find a lovely collection of turf houses.
