Dúvugarðar - Saksun Heritage Farm

The Dúvugarðar museum and park are part of the largest farm in the Faroe Islands, which supports a flock of about 700 sheep on 2.500 hectares/6.200 acres. The farm is run by a modern farming family that works and lives in Saksun all year round. To them, the village of Saksun is more than a beautiful place—it is their home.
In 2024 the local farmer family started a project to restore the old heritage farm of Dúvugarðar. It is an ongoing restoration and preservation of the entire farm. The ambition is to bring back the true spirit of a farmer's lifestyle in the 18th century and allow you to experience it.
