Kongavarðar

In 1907, the Danish King visited the Faroe Islands.

 

Three men walked up the mountain overlooking Tórshavn and its suburbs. They had one mission; to look for the king’s ship in the horizon, so they could send the message down to Tórshavn in order for the city to be ready to greet him. The king took a while to reach the city, so the men started to get bored. They decided to build a cairn right where they were standing. This cairn later came to be known as Kongavarði – or King’s Cairn in English.

 

It is only the one cairn, which is the middle of the cairns. The others are built in the 1980s and 1990s.
