One of Iceland's great landed estates, an area that stretched from the sea in the north to Dettifoss waterfall in the south

Near Ásbyrgi, for centuries, Ás Farm was one of the largest landed estates in Iceland. Its domain stretched from the sea in the north to Dettifoss waterfall in the south. However, flooding of the Jökulsá River in the 17th and 18th centuries wiped out much of the land, and Ás Farm did not recover. The church on the estate was disused in 1816; only the site of the old cemetery remains. However, Ásbyrgi (or Byrgi), one of Ás' farms, is still inhabited. The poet Einar Benediktsson (1864-1940) once owned it.
