Langamýri

In 1944, Ingibjörg Jóhannsdóttir founded a women's school, Húsmæðraskólinn á Löngumýri (The Homemaking School in Löngumýri), in her home of Langamýri on the land she inherited. Over 100 girls studied there over the next decade.^[3] Ingibjörg directed the school herself until 1967 when she gave the land to the state church on the condition that it would continue operating the school.^[4]

The Homemaking School was in Langamýri into the 1970s. It was then decommissioned because of low attendance, and a non-profit foundation offering various activities was established in its place under the auspices of the church.^[5]
