Nonni's House, is a listed building, one of Akureyri’ s oldest houses from the 1850's. The name of the house refers to Jón Sveinsson, Nonni, who grew up here until he began his incredible journey becoming a Jesuit priest and a writer whose books were and are published in such diverse languages as Chinese and Esperanto. Perhaps in yours.
