Tautra Abbey, Monastery ruins in Frosta, Norway.
The stone remains of Tautra Abbey stand on an island in Trondheim Fjord, displaying medieval Norwegian architectural elements and construction techniques.
Founded in 1207 by Cistercian monks from Lyse Abbey near Bergen, Tautra Abbey operated until 1537 when it closed during the Protestant Reformation.
The monastery maintained a library of 75 volumes and influenced local agriculture through the monks' cultivation methods and introduction of specific sheep breeds.
Visitors can reach the ruins by car via route 753, with designated parking areas and information panels explaining the site's layout and features.
A new Trappistine monastery established in 1999 near the medieval ruins marks the first permanent Cistercian settlement in Norway since the Reformation.
