Nonneseter Abbey, Medieval Cistercian ruins and chapel in Bergen, Norway
The remaining structures of Nonneseter Abbey include a west tower base near Bergen's public library and a chapel with Gothic arched windows.
Founded around 1150 and dedicated to the Virgin Mary, the abbey housed 35 nuns by 1320, making it one of Norway's largest convents.
The Nonneseter Chapel features a vaulted ceiling and architectural elements from 1250, representing medieval Norwegian religious construction techniques.
The chapel at Kaigaten 3 now functions as a concert hall, while the tower base serves as a World War II memorial space.
The Romanesque style of the tower base suggests the presence of an older structure that existed before the Cistercian order arrived.
