The Village<\/h3><\/div>
Two settlements<\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]As the name signals, Sandur or the village \u201ehome on the beach\u201c probably was where people first settled on Sandoy. Archaeological excavations by the graveyard \u00e1 Sondum and Junkarinsfl\u00f8ttur prove that people lived there in the 9th century. \u00c1 Sondum it is proved that people have lived there as early as the 4th-6th and again in 7th-8th centuries.The earliest documented settlement in the Faroes!<\/p>\n

By the graveyard, there are remains of what archaeologists believe to be a longhouse, and the content of graves found there indicates that those buried there were of high social standing. Moreover, this is the only place in the Faroes where a coin treasure has been found.<\/p>\n

Today Sandur is a bustling modern village where fisheries and agriculture are the mainstays.<\/p>\n

People have settled in two main areas here, east and west of Sandsvatn, the lake. East of the lake are Tra\u00f0ir and the \u00e1 Sondum settlement, whereas the village itself lies west of the lake.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” disable_element=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1706631409032{padding-top: 85px !important;padding-bottom: 55px !important;background-color: #2673f6 !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1575390830311{padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”]
