Barð is a farm and church site in Fljót in Skagafjörður, Iceland. Overlooking the farm is a striking mountain named Barð (sometimes called Barðið) with a steep ridge that faces the ocean.[1] Barð was a large farm with many smallholdings where a noble family, the Barðverjar clan, lived in centuries past.[2] The church there served as a rectory, but it was decommissioned in 1970 and was then served by a priest from Hofsós.[3] The current church at Barð was built in 1889 and it is a protected site.[4]

There is geothermal heat at Barð and old texts mention a Barðslaug or Barð warm spring where, for example, a priest was killed in 1252.[5] Later on, a swimming pool was built there and later still, a boarding school called Sólgarðar by the pool. There is now a branch of the Grunnskólanum austan Vatna primary school there.[6]

One of Barð's notable inhabitants was Jón Norðmann (1820–1877) who wrote the manuscript Allrahanda, which is preserved in the National and University Library of Iceland.[7]
