Museum of Icelandic Sorcery and Witchcraft 37 km away (air distance)

During the 17th century, Iceland, like much of Europe, saw witch trials, and many of the accused were in the Westfjords. Unlike elsewhere in Europe, most of those accused here were men. The museum's most famous exhibit is a replica of a pair of "necropants", a grisly folk charm said to bring wealth.
