Héraðsskólinn was designed by Guðjón Samúelsson, considered by most the greatest architect in Iceland´s history. The building was constructed in 1928.
The actual building of the structure was carried out by Jónas from Hrifla, a powerful politician and true believer in education, art, and culture. He envisioned the house as a dominant force in education and culture in Iceland.
