Suffragan bishopric
The see was discontinued from 1801 to 1909. It was revived in 1909 as a suffragan bishopric to the Bishop of Iceland,[1] with the bishop's cathedra in the traditional Hólar cathedral church. In 1990 fresh legislation increased the authority and responsibilities of the Bishop of Hólar as an assistant bishop in the Reykjavik diocese.[1]
The current Bishop of Hólar is Jón Baldvinsson.
