Selatrað (Settlement)

Selatrað, which is mentioned in Hundabrævið, has 45 inhabitants and covers 30 merkur, of which 22 merkur are copyhold land divided between two copyhold tenants, and 8 merkur are freehold land. Selatrað is considered to be a landnam village and used to have a local thingstead. The sheep herd consists of 713 animals.

The village church from 1927 is made of concrete with a slate roof and is designed by the engineer Steingrim Winther. The now closed school is currently used as an village hall and hosts various activities, including Christian meetings.

A relatively large plantation was established by the Danish Health Society in 1923. The village also has a YMCA scout centre which has been the setting of large international scout camps. A jetty was built in 1965, which has since been expanded into a small marina.
