Hólar is a historic site located in northern Iceland that served as one of the most important religious and cultural centers in the country from the Middle Ages until the 18th century. Established as a bishop's seat in 1106, it was one of two episcopal sees in medieval Iceland.
The site was home to the first printing press in Iceland, introduced in the 16th century, and played a crucial role in the country's educational history as the location of an important cathedral school. Today, Hólar is home to Hólar University College, specializing in equine science, aquaculture, and tourism studies. The historic cathedral, built in 1763, still stands as a testament to the site's religious significance.
