Syðrugøta (Danish: Sydregøte) is a village on the east coast of the Faroese island of Eysturoy in Eystur Municipality.
Also Tróndur í Gøtu, the most famous Faroe Islander of the Viking Age in Faroese history, is said to have lived in the village.
[citation needed] Several excavations have shown that Syðrugøta is one of the oldest settlements in the Faroe Islands.
Many believe that the great Norse chieftain, Tróndur í Gøtu lived and had his chiefdom in Syðrugøtu – among many reasons why, is because of the good view he would have had out to the horizon and the short distance to his fleet, stationed at Undir Gøtueiði.
One of the most influential and wealthy[2] companies in the Faroe Islands, Varðin í Gøtu, is based in Syðrugøta.
