The French Hospital in Faskrudsfjordurt

Project Leader: Minjavernd hf

Jury Citation: "This project recaptures a part of European history in embracing this link between France and Iceland. The project team has acted to safeguard this valuable and fragile building and the fascinating heritage it embodies" "Restoring a building such as the French Hospital for new uses is a difficult task. The solution that the team has presented is markedly intelligent. The decision to incorporate a very informative museum within the building's other function as a hotel is proof of the respect that the team had for the building's heritage and the commitment it had in making this heritage accessible to everyone".
