Utstein Monastery



The Utstein Monastery
-
is the only well-preserved medieval monastery in all of Norway, dating back to1265
located on the island of Mostersøy
-
landscape around the monastery is protected by law making it a very popular destination to have a relaxed walking tour of the island (I just missed the one by Stavanger-Chamber.no)
