The Creamery at Baugsstaðir is truly a jewel among museums: it is the only creamery in Iceland which remains standing with all its fixtures and fittings. During visits to the Creamery the flow of water in the brook is dammed, and the power of the waterwheel urges the cream-churn and butter-kneading table into creaking motion, just as it did when the Creamery opened in 1905. This was a realm of extraordinary women.

Open at weekends in July and August and to groups all year by arrangement
