The sod church was originally built in the district Skagafjordur in 1842, demolished in 1896, and its wood was used for the construction of the farm at Silfrastadir, wher the church stood. When the farm was demolished, most of the wooden boards were transported to the capital, where the church was rebuilt on the museum grounds. Its sister church at Vidimyri in the Skagafjordur district, built in 1934-35, still stands, and is considered on of the most beautiful sod buildings of the country.
