Snorra Edda
The Edda, known as "Snorra Edda", is generally believed to be the oldest of Snorri's writings. It is the only one of his works that can be dated with some accuracy. The oldest section of the Edda is the poem "Háttatal" ( in praise of King Hakon and Earl Skuli) composed in 1220 after Snorri's return from his first journey to Norway. Snorri added two other parts to his Edda. In Gylfagynning he recounts the heathen mythology required in order to understand the sumbolic language of scaldic poetry, "dróttkvæði", but is carried away by his storrytelling zeal into telling various other stories w
Snorri Sturluson
I want to tell you about my " employer" Snorri Sturluson! Snorri Sturluson was born at Hvammur in Dalir ( Vest Iceland) at 1179. When Snorri was 3 years old his father Sturla was involved in a conflict with Father Pall Sölvason of Reykholt. To solve the conflict Icelands lawspeaker Jon Loftsson was called in.

De Nordiske lande
Her i Reykholt modtager vi rigtig mange gæster fra de Nordiske lande, primært fra Norge og Sverige. Efter at have boet 2 år i Sverige, 28 år i Danmark, samt arbejdet for norske virksomheder, er det mig altid en stor fornøjelse at modtage disse gæster. Gæster fra de Nordiske lande ret interesserede i at høre mere om vores fælles kulturarv, heriblandt de islandske Sagaer og tiden fra landnam og op igennem middelalderen. Snorris tid, 1179 - 1241 er selvfølgelig vores speciale her i Reykholt og vi ynder at fortælle historier om Sturlungatiden i Island samt historier fra Heimskringla, om kon
Snorrastofa of Snorri Sturluson
The roads are fine if you are looking for a daytour from Reykjavík. We are open all weekdays from 10 to 17 hours. Remember our fine souvenir shop with focus on books, cd's and Icelandic design and handcraft. The most distinctive antiquity in Reykholt is the pool of Snorri Sturluson, called Snorralaug. The pool and the water conduit, leading water from a nearby hot spring, date back to the 10th century and are maybe the oldest preserved constructions in Iceland. (Photographer Guðlaugur Óskarsson)
