Vestervig Kloster, Medieval monastery and manor house in Thisted Municipality, Denmark

The large stone complex combines monastic architecture with later manor house modifications, featuring Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements throughout its structure.

Established in 1110 as a Benedictine monastery, the site transformed during the Reformation when King Frederik III's officials converted it into a manor house.

The monastery operated as a center for learning and spirituality during the Middle Ages, contributing to the religious development of North Jutland.

The property maintains regular opening hours during summer months, offering guided tours that present the architectural evolution from monastery to manor house.

A rare Romanesque sundial remains on the exterior walls, marking ecclesiastical times from the building's monastic period.
