Bragginn in Nauthólsvík, renovated by the City of Reykjavík in 2017, has now been closed to the general public. The building was originally intended to host a café, community events, and vibrant social gatherings by the geothermal beach. The original budget was estimated at 158 million ISK, but the final bill came to around 400 million ISK. Public debate intensified when it was revealed that special straw for the building had been imported from Denmark at significant expense. From now on, however, Bragginn will only be accessible to those who rent it for private functions such as parties or events.
