Calling all history buffs! Make sure to visit the famous Skalholt Cathedral in Selfoss. This is one of the most historical and culturally significant sites in all of Iceland. It is a religious site and area of learning that was often regarded as a pilgrimage for Icelanders, for over 700 years. Nowadays, the area is a fantastic centre, filled with restaurants, and art exhibitions.

The facility is also home to the Summer Music Festival, which started in 1975. This is held at the church, because of its fantastic atmosphere and acoustics.
