GAMLA BÆNHÚSIÐ Á NÚPSSTAÐ 83 In 1930 the National Museum of Iceland took over the old house and in 1958—1960 gave it a thorough reparation. The author of this paper shows that the house was rebuilt for the last time about 1655, so that it is at least 300 years old as it is now. Moreover the author is of the opinion that when rebuilt about 1655 the cliurch was given much the samc shape and size as it had before. The chapel at Núpsstaður is only 5.2 m long and 2.2—2.5 m wide. The walls are very thick and built from rough slones and turf. The roof has turf on the outside but the beams are protected by a cover of flagstones, a detail well known in oldfashioned houses in the south of Iceland. The interior of the chapel is poor hut tlie outside look is quite picturesque and fits well into the landscape. In every respect the house is a good representa- tive for old Icelandic building customs and being one of the oldest houses in tlie country it deserves to be protected for the future.

Sem dæmi má nefna, að þegar biskup vísiterar á Kálfafelli í sept. 1641 verður hann þess var, að séra Magnús hefur ekki skilað af sér ýmsum eignum kirkjunnar þar og skipar prestinum á staðnum, séra Þórði Guðmundssyni, að innheimta það, eða eins og segir í vísitazí- unni: „Krefja og til dóms og laga að sækja--------— svo kirkjurnar séu ekki eilíflega ræntar af þeim er sízt skyldi, einkanlega kristnum mönnum og sérdeilis prestunum sjálfum.“ (Bps. A II, 8, bls. 139). Illa gekk innheimtan, og árið 1663 er biskup enn að ámálga við Kálfa- fellsprest að þvinga séra Magnús til að gera full skil. 10) Sjá Bps.
