Hóladómkirkja, Lutheran cathedral in Hólar, Iceland
The stone cathedral features a freestanding tower built in 1950 and stands at the site where six previous churches were constructed.
Consecrated in 1763, this cathedral was designed by architect Laurids de Thurah and initiated by Bishop Gísli Magnússon during the Lutheran period.
The cathedral displays the Hólabrík altarpiece from the early 16th century, containing detailed depictions of apostles, saints, and martyrs.
The cathedral opens daily from May 15 to September 1 between 10:00 and 18:00, while visits outside this period require advance arrangements.
A baptismal font carved from steatite in 1674 remains in the cathedral, with discussions about its origins pointing to Greenland or foreign imports.
