Höfði is an intriguing standalone house in Reykjavik, located near the Atlantic coast, and is one of the city’s most beautiful and well-known historical landmarks. It was brought from Norway in 1909 as a prefabricated building, and it gained significant fame in 1986 when it hosted the meeting between Presidents Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev. This meeting is often seen as the beginning of the end of the Cold War, and possibly because of this, Reykjavik received a piece of the Berlin Wall 30 years later, which is placed nearby. Höfði is owned by the city of Reykjavik, and although its interior is currently not open to the public, it serves as a venue for meetings of high-ranking officials and dignitaries.
