David's House, Bjarkarstigur 6. Home of one of Iceland’s best-loved poets, David Stefansson from Fagriskogur (1895-1964). 

This period-piece detached house was built in 1944 and contains the poet’s original furnishings, personal effects and his library, which the town bought from his estate and is one of the largest and most valuable private collections of books in Iceland.

The basement of the house contains an apartment used by artists and scholars free of charge.  They are however required to share their accomplishments during the stay with the community of Akureyri in collaboration with the cultural representative of the town's council.
