Utstein Abbey, Medieval monastery in Stavanger Municipality, Norway.
The stone buildings of Utstein Abbey stand on the southern shore of Klosterøy island, featuring preserved medieval architecture and surrounding farmland.
Founded during the reign of King Magnus VI between 1263 and 1280, the monastery operated until its dissolution in 1537 during the Protestant Reformation.
The monastery housed 20 to 30 Augustinian Canons who maintained a daily schedule of prayer, study, and work supported by local workers.
Visitors can reach the abbey within 30 minutes from Stavanger through the Rennfast undersea tunnel, with guided tours available from March to August.
The abbey's meeting rooms gained international recognition in medical circles after hosting conferences that established emergency medicine reporting standards in 1990.
