STORY
Once the abode of Michael Thompson, a solitary fisherman who dedicated his life to the sea, this house holds the echoes of a simple yet meaningful existence. Rarely interacting with the townspeople, Michael returned each winter to his humble abode, leaving a lasting imprint on the coastal town.
Discover the story of Michael, who lived a long and solitary life until the age of 96. Found on his boat near Nororagato, where he spent his final days, his house now stands empty, a silent tribute to a man who embraced a life of self-reliance and determination.
Michael's craftsmanship is evident in every detail of the house, built with local materials like turf, stone, and wood. Thick, sturdy walls protect against the harsh Faroese winters, while a thatched grass roof provides natural insulation, showcasing a harmonious relationship with nature.
Today, Michael's house serves as a poignant relic, transporting us to a time when simplicity and connection with nature were paramount. Join us on this unique adventure to one of the world's most remote corners as we uncover the untold story of Michael Thompson and the tiny turquoise house that stands as a testament to his legacy.
