The Catholic Diocese of Bergen or Diocese of Bjørgvin in Norway existed from the eleventh century to the Protestant Reformation ( 1537 ) , and included the ( modern ) counties of Hordaland and Sogn og Fjordane ( with exception of the parishes Eidfjord and Røldal ) . Originally ( from 1068 ) the diocese served all the area of Gulating : the modern counties of Hordaland , Sogn og Fjordane , Rogaland , Vest-Agder and Aust-Agder - and the regions of Sunnmøre , Valdres and Hallingdal . When the Diocese of Stavanger was established , around 1125 , the counties of Rogaland , Aust-Agder and Vest-Agder were transferred to the new diocese - together with the regions of Valdres and Hallingdal ( and the parishes of Eidfjord and Røldal from Hordaland ) . The region Sunnmøre was transferred to the Archdiocese of Nidaros some time after 1152 - to secure more income for the Archdiocese .
Christ Church or the Old Cathedral on Holmen ( Kristkirken på Holmen i Bergen ) was the main church and cathedral of Bergen . Its site was at present day Bergenhus Fortress . The church was built by King Olav Kyrre during the period 1066-1093 . The church was situated north of Haakon 's hall , the King 's hall . It was dedicated to the Holy Trinity but was always known as Christ Church . In 1170 the relics of Saint Sunniva were moved here from Selja and placed on the main altar . During Bergen 's period as the capital of Norway in the 13th century , Holmen and Christ Church was the political centre of the country . The church itself was used for negotiations and the churchyard was used for hailing of kings and meetings of the realm . The first coronation in Scandinavia was held in Bergen in 1163 and several coronations were held in the church when it was finished . The kings were also married and buried in the church . In 1531 the church was levelled to the ground by order of Eske Bille , the commander of Bergenhus Fortress . Today the outline of the church is marked by a hedge .
Oslo bishopric is the Church of Norway 's bishopric for the municipalities of Oslo , Asker and Bærum . It is one of Norway 's five traditional bishoprics and was founded around the year 1070 .

The former Norwegian Catholic diocese of Hamar existed from 1152 to 1542 , when the Protestant Reformation turned it into a bishopric of the Lutheran state church . The cathedral see was at Hamar , and the diocese included the ( modern ) counties of Hedmark ( except Solør , Odalen and the northern part of Østerdalen ) , Oppland ( except Valdres ) , and the middle part of Buskerud ( the traditional districts Numedal and Ringerike ) . It also included some parts of Telemark ( the modern municipalities of Hjartdal , Notodden , Seljord , Tinn and Vinje ) .

The former Catholic Diocese of Stavanger in Norway included the modern counties of Rogaland , Vest-Agder and Aust-Agder together with the regions of Valdres and Hallingdal and the parishes of Eidfjord and Røldal from Hordaland . It existed from the beginning of the 12th century to the Protestant Reformation .
Stavanger Cathedral ( Norwegian : Stavanger domkirke ) is Norway 's oldest cathedral and the seat of the Bishop of Stavanger who leads the Diocese of Stavanger . It is located in the city of Stavanger in Rogaland county , Norway . The church is situated in the centre of the city , in the borough of Storhaug between Breiavatnet in the south , the square with Vågen in the north west , the cathedral square in the north , and Kongsgård in the southwest . The church is part of the Stavanger domkirke parish in the Stavanger arch-deanery in the Diocese of Stavanger .

The Faroe Islands ( /ˈfɛəroʊ/ ; Faroese : Føroyar , pronounced [ ˈfœɹjaɹ ] ; Danish : Færøerne , pronounced [ ˈfæɐ̯ˌøˀɐnə ] ) , or the Faeroe Islands , is a North Atlantic archipelago located 320 kilometres ( 200 mi ) north-northwest of Scotland , and about halfway between Norway and Iceland . It is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark . The islands have a total area of about 1,400 square kilometres ( 540 sq mi ) with a population of 51,783 as of June 2019 [ update ] . The terrain is rugged ; the climate is subpolar oceanic climate ( Cfc ) - windy , wet , cloudy , and cool . Temperatures average above freezing throughout the year because of the Gulf Stream . As a result of the moderation and the northerly latitude , summers normally hover around 12 °C ( 54 °F ) . Average temperatures are 5 °C ( 41 °F ) in winter . The northerly latitude location also results in perpetual civil twilight during summer nights and very short winter days . Between 1035 and 1814 the Faroes were part of the Kingdom of Norway , which was in a personal union with Denmark from 1450 . In 1814 the Treaty of Kiel transferred Norway to the king of Sweden , on the winning side of the Napoleonic wars , whereas the king of Denmark , on the losing side , retained the Faroes , along with the two other historical Norwegian island possessions in the North Atlantic : Greenland and Iceland . The Faroe Islands have been a self-governing part of the Kingdom of Denmark since 1948 . The Faroese control most of their domestic affairs .
St. Magnus Cathedral ( Danish : Magnuskatedralen ) is a ruined cathedral in the village of Kirkjubøur on the island of Streymoy in the Faroe Islands . The ruins are the largest medieval building in the Faroe Islands .
The Bishop of Orkney was the ecclesiastical head of the Diocese of Orkney , one of thirteen medieval bishoprics of Scotland . It included both Orkney and Shetland . It was based for almost all of its history at St Magnus Cathedral , Kirkwall . The bishopric appears to have been suffragan of the Archbishop of York ( with intermittent control exercised by the Archbishop of Hamburg-Bremen ) until the creation of the Archbishopric of Trondheim ( Niðaros ) in 1152 . Although Orkney itself did not unite with mainland Scotland until 1468 , the Scottish kings and political community had been pushing for control of the islands for centuries . The see , however , remained under the nominal control of Trondheim until the creation of the Archbishopric of St Andrews in 1472 , when it became for the first time an officially Scottish bishopric . The Bishopric 's links with Rome ceased to exist after the Scottish Reformation . The bishopric continued , saving temporary abolition between 1638 and 1661 , under the episcopal Church of Scotland until the Glorious Revolution of 1688 . Episcopacy in the established church in Scotland was permanently abolished in 1689 , but a Scottish Episcopal Church bishopric encompassing Orkney was created in 1865 , as the Bishopric of Aberdeen and Orkney . In 1878 , the Catholic Church in Scotland re-established the bishopric system , and Orkney came under the resurrected and reformatted Diocese of Aberdeen .
Orkney /ˈɔːrkni/ ( Old Norse : Orkneyjar ) , also known as the Orkney Islands , [ Notes 1 ] is an archipelago in the Northern Isles of Scotland , situated off the north coast of the island of Great Britain . Orkney is 10 miles ( 16 km ) north of the coast of Caithness and has about 70 islands , of which 20 are inhabited . The largest island , Mainland , is often referred to as the Mainland , and has an area of 523 square kilometres ( 202 sq mi ) , making it the sixth-largest Scottish island and the tenth-largest island in the British Isles . The largest settlement and administrative centre is Kirkwall . Orkney is one of the 32 council areas of Scotland , a constituency of the Scottish Parliament , a lieutenancy area , and a historic county . The local council is Orkney Islands Council , one of only three Councils in Scotland with a majority of elected members who are independents . [ Notes 2 ] The islands have been inhabited for at least 8,500 years , originally occupied by Mesolithic and Neolithic tribes and then by the Picts . Orkney was colonised and later annexed by Norway in 875 and settled by the Norse . The Scottish Parliament then absorbed the earldom to the Scottish Crown in 1472 , following the failed payment of a dowry for James III 's bride Margaret of Denmark . In addition to the Mainland , most of the remaining islands are in two groups , the North and South Isles , all of which have an underlying geological base of Old Red Sandstone . The climate is mild and the soils are extremely fertile , most of the land being farmed . Agriculture is the most important sector of the economy .
Shetland ( Scottish Gaelic : Sealtainn ) , also called the Shetland Islands and formerly Zetland , is a subarctic archipelago in the Northern Isles of Scotland , situated in the Northern Atlantic , between Great Britain , the Faroe Islands and Norway . The islands lie some 80 km ( 50 mi ) to the northeast of Orkney , 170 km ( 110 mi ) from the Scottish mainland and 300 km ( 190 mi ) west of Norway . They form part of the division between the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the North Sea to the east . The total area is 1,466 km2 ( 566 sq mi ) , and the population totalled 23,210 in 2011 . The islands comprise the Shetland constituency of the Scottish Parliament . The local authority , Shetland Islands Council , is one of the 32 council areas of Scotland . The islands ' administrative centre and only burgh is Lerwick , which has been the capital of Shetland since taking over from Scalloway in 1708 . The largest island , known as Mainland , has an area of 967 km2 ( 373 sq mi ) , making it the third-largest Scottish island and the fifth-largest of the British Isles . There are an additional 15 inhabited islands . The archipelago has an oceanic climate , a complex geology , a rugged coastline and many low , rolling hills . Humans have lived in Shetland since the Mesolithic period . The early historic period was dominated by Scandinavian influences , especially from Norway .
St Magnus Cathedral , Kirkwall dominates the skyline of Kirkwall , the main town of Orkney , a group of islands off the north coast of mainland Scotland . It is the most northerly cathedral in the United Kingdom , a fine example of Romanesque architecture built for the bishops of Orkney when the islands were ruled by the Norse Earls of Orkney . It is owned not by the church , but by the burgh of Kirkwall as a result of an act of King James III of Scotland following Orkney 's annexation by the Scottish Crown in 1468 . It has its own dungeon . Construction began in 1137 , and it was added to over the next 300 years . The first bishop was William the Old , and the diocese was under the authority of the Archbishop of Nidaros in Norway . It was for Bishop William that the nearby Bishop 's Palace was built . Before the Reformation , the cathedral was presided over by the Bishop of Orkney , whose seat was in Kirkwall .
The Diocese of the Isles , also known as the Diocese of Suðreyar , or the Diocese of Sodor , was one of the dioceses of medieval Norway . After the mid-13th-century Treaty of Perth , the diocese was accounted as one of the 13 dioceses of Scotland . The original seat of the bishopric appears to have been at Peel , on St Patrick 's Isle , where indeed it continued to be under English overlordship ; the Bishopric of the Isles as it was after the split was relocated to the north , firstly to Snizort and then Iona . The diocese in its full form included the Outer Hebrides , most of the Inner Hebrides ( including Iona , Skye , Raasay , Canna , Eigg , Coll , Tiree , Mull , Colonsay , Islay , Jura , Gigha - but not Lismore , Kerrera , Seil or Luing , all under the Bishop of Argyll ) , the Isle of Bute and the Isle of Arran , as well as the Isle of Man ( Mann ) . The diocese may have originally contained Galloway , a suggestion thought to explain the possible attacks of Wimund on Bishop Gilla Aldan of Whithorn .
The Isle of Man ( Manx : Mannin [ ˈmanɪnʲ ] , also Manx : Ellan Vannin [ ˈɛlʲan ˈvanɪnʲ ] ) , sometimes referred to simply as Mann /mæn/ , is a self-governing British Crown dependency in the Irish Sea between Great Britain and Ireland . The head of state , Queen Elizabeth II , holds the title of Lord of Mann and is represented by a lieutenant governor . Defence is the responsibility of the United Kingdom . Humans have lived on the island since before 6500 BC . Gaelic cultural influence began in the 5th century AD , and the Manx language , a branch of the Gaelic languages , emerged . In 627 Edwin of Northumbria conquered the Isle of Man along with most of Mercia . In the 9th century , Norsemen established the Kingdom of the Isles , which included the Isle of Man . Magnus III , King of Norway from 1093 to 1103 , reigned also as King of Mann and the Isles between 1099 and 1103 . In 1266 the island became part of Scotland under the Treaty of Perth , after being ruled by Norway . After a period of alternating rule by the kings of Scotland and England , the island came under the feudal lordship of the English Crown in 1399 . The lordship revested into the British Crown in 1765 , but the island never became part of the 18th century kingdom of Great Britain or its successors ( the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the present-day United Kingdom ) . It retained its internal self-government .
The Islands of the Firth of Clyde are the fifth largest of the major Scottish island groups after the Inner and Outer Hebrides , Orkney and Shetland . They are situated in the Firth of Clyde between Ayrshire and Argyll and Bute . There are about forty islands and skerries , of which only four are inhabited and only nine larger than 40 hectares ( 99 acres ) . [ Note 1 ] The largest and most populous are Arran and Bute , and Great Cumbrae and Holy Island are also served by dedicated ferry routes . Unlike the four larger Scottish archipelagos , none of the isles in this group are connected to one another or to the mainland by bridges . The geology and geomorphology of the area is complex and the islands and the surrounding sea lochs each have distinctive features . The influence of the Atlantic Ocean and the North Atlantic Drift create a mild , damp oceanic climate . The larger islands have been continuously inhabited since Neolithic times , were influenced by the emergence of the kingdom of Dál Riata from 500 AD and then absorbed into the emerging Kingdom of Alba under Kenneth MacAlpin . They experienced Viking incursions during the Early Middle Ages and then became part of the Kingdom of Scotland in the 13th century . There is a diversity of wildlife , including three species of rare endemic tree .
The Hebrides ( /ˈhɛbrɪdiːz/ ; Scottish Gaelic : Innse Gall , pronounced [ ˈĩːʃə ˈkaul̪ˠ ] ; Old Norse : Suðreyjar ) comprise a widespread and diverse archipelago off the west coast of mainland Scotland . There are two main groups : the Inner and Outer Hebrides . These islands have a long history of occupation dating back to the Mesolithic , and the culture of the residents has been affected by the successive influences of Celtic- , Norse- , and English-speaking peoples . This diversity is reflected in the names given to the islands , which are derived from the languages that have been spoken there in historic and perhaps prehistoric times . The Hebrides are the source of much of Scottish Gaelic literature and Gaelic music . Today the economy of the islands is dependent on crofting , fishing , tourism , the oil industry , and renewable energy . The Hebrides have lower biodiversity than mainland Scotland , but there is a significant presence of seals and seabirds .
The Cathedral Church of Saint German or Peel Cathedral , rebranded as Cathedral Isle of Man , is located in Peel , Isle of Man . The cathedral is also one of the parish churches in the parish of the West Coast , which includes the town of Peel , and was built in 1879-84 . It was made the cathedral by Act of Tynwald in 1980 . It is the cathedral church of the Church of England Diocese of Sodor and Man .
The Diocese of Skálholt is a suffragan diocese of the Church of Iceland . It was the estate of the first bishop in Iceland , Isleifr Gizurarson , who became bishop in 1056 . ( Christianity had been formally adopted in 1000 ) . His son , Gizurr , donated it to become the official see . The Diocese was amalgamated in 1801 , and now forms part of the Diocese of Iceland under the leadership of the Bishop of Iceland . In 1909 the diocese was restored as a suffragan see , with the Bishop of Skálholt , being a suffragan bishop to the Bishop of Iceland .
Iceland ( Icelandic : Ísland ; [ ˈistlant ] ( listen ) ) [ c ] is a Nordic island country in the North Atlantic , with a population of 360,390 and an area of 103,000 km2 ( 40,000 sq mi ) , making it the most sparsely populated country in Europe . [ d ] The capital and largest city is Reykjavík . Reykjavik and the surrounding areas in the southwest of the country are home to over two-thirds of the population . Iceland is volcanically and geologically active . The interior consists of a plateau characterised by sand and lava fields , mountains , and glaciers , and many glacial rivers flow to the sea through the lowlands . Iceland is warmed by the Gulf Stream and has a temperate climate , despite a high latitude just outside the Arctic Circle . Its high latitude and marine influence keep summers chilly , with most of the archipelago having a tundra climate . According to the ancient manuscript Landnámabók , the settlement of Iceland began in 874 AD when the Norwegian chieftain Ingólfr Arnarson became the first permanent settler on the island . In the following centuries , Norwegians , and to a lesser extent other Scandinavians , emigrated to Iceland , bringing with them thralls ( i.e. , slaves or serfs ) of Gaelic origin . The island was governed as an independent commonwealth under the Althing , one of the world 's oldest functioning legislative assemblies . Following a period of civil strife , Iceland acceded to Norwegian rule in the 13th century . The establishment of the Kalmar Union in 1397 united the kingdoms of Norway , Denmark , and Sweden .

Greenland ( Greenlandic : Kalaallit Nunaat , pronounced [ kalaːɬit nunaːt ] ; Danish : Grønland , pronounced [ ˈkʁɶnˌlænˀ ] ) is the world 's largest island , [ d ] located between the Arctic and Atlantic oceans , east of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago . It is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark . Though physiographically a part of the continent of North America , Greenland has been politically and culturally associated with Europe ( specifically Norway and Denmark , the colonial powers , as well as the nearby island of Iceland ) for more than a millennium . The majority of its residents are Inuit , whose ancestors migrated from Alaska through Northern Canada , gradually settling across the island by the 13th century . Nowadays , the population is largely concentrated on the southwest coast , while the rest of the island is sparsely populated . Greenland is divided into five municipalities - Sermersooq , Kujalleq , Qeqertalik , Qeqqata , and Avannaata . It has two unincorporated areas - the Northeast Greenland National Park and the Thule Air Base . The last one , even if under Danish control , is administered by the United States Air Force . Three-quarters of Greenland is covered by the only permanent ice sheet outside Antarctica . With a population of about 56,480 ( 2013 ) , it is the least densely populated territory in the world . About a third of the population lives in Nuuk , the capital and largest city . The Arctic Umiaq Line ferry acts as a lifeline for western Greenland , connecting the various cities and settlements .
