Staðarborg

A sheep shelter, round in shape and constructed skilfully from lava rocks.

Situated 2-3 km from the former parsonage Kalfatjorn in a direct line from there to Mt Dyngja.

It is about two metres high, 8 m in diameter, and 35 m in circumferance. The ground inside it is flat and covered with grass.
No sources reveal its age, but it is considered to be a few centuries old. According to the legend, a man named Gudmundur built it for the reverend at Kalfatjorn.

He worked elaborately at the construction, collected stones from the surrounding area to have a large selection to chose from to fit them together as perfectly as possible. He planned to close it with a cone shaped roof of stones, but the reverend envisioned it higher and more prominent than his church´s steeple and stopped the construction work. The stone mason left it exactly as we see it today. It was declared inviolate in 1951.

一座圆形羊圈，以熔岩岩石精工砌筑而成。
其位置距离旧牧师住宅卡尔法特约恩（Kalfatjorn）直线距离2至3公里，朝向丁贾山（Mt Dyngja）方向。
该羊圈高约2米，直径8米，周长35米，内部地面平坦且覆盖青草。
尚无史料记载其建造年代，普遍认为其已有数百年历史。据传说，一名名为古蒙德（Gudmundur）的男子为卡尔法特约恩的牧师修建了这座羊圈。
建造者精工细作，从周边区域采集石材以获取充足选材，实现严丝合缝的拼接。他原本计划用石块搭建锥形屋顶，但牧师认为这座羊圈的高度与醒目程度应超过自身教堂的尖塔，遂叫停了工程。石匠便将其保留为如今的样貌。该羊圈于1951年被宣布为不可侵犯的保护场所。
