Nidarholm Abbey, Benedictine monastery on Munkholmen islet, Norway
The monastery occupies a small island in Trondheimsfjord, approximately 1.3 kilometers from the center of Trondheim, covering 13,000 square meters of land.
Founded around 1100 by Sigurd Ullstreng, the monastery experienced three devastating fires during the Middle Ages, with the final one occurring in 1531.
The monastery maintained strong connections with England, implementing reforms based on Cluniac practices under the supervision of English monk Matthew of Paris.
Modern visitors reach the monastery site by regular boat services departing from Ravnkloa between May and September, with guided tours available in English.
The monastery buildings disappeared during the 17th century when the location transformed into a fortress that later imprisoned Count Peder Griffenfeld for 18 years.
