Memorial stone for Nólsoyar Páll

By the preserved and restored outbuilding at Fløtti stands the memorial stone for Nólsoyar Páll, which Tórshavn City Council erected in 2006 west of Nólsoy Church. The inscription on the memorial stone reads: “The memory of the hero lives on.”

Nólsoyar Páll built Royndin Fríða, the first ship constructed in the Faroe Islands since the Viking Age. He is known for his struggle against the trade monopoly and Danish officials. Furthermore, Nólsoyar Páll is the most renowned táttayrkjari (ballad poet) in the Faroe Islands and authored works such as Fuglakvæði, Jákup á Møn, and Fruntatátt.
