Olavsklosteret Oslo, Dominican monastery ruins in Gamlebyen, Norway
The Olavsklosteret features preserved rooms with stone walls and foundations that reveal the architectural design of medieval religious buildings in Oslo.
Founded in 1239 during King Håkon Håkonsson's reign, the monastery provided space for fifteen Dominican brothers until its closure during the Reformation period.
The monastery ruins integrate with Minneparken, forming a significant archaeological complex that displays Oslo's medieval religious architecture alongside Hallvardskatedralen.
Visitors can explore the monastery remains through designated pathways, with informational panels explaining the layout and functions of different sections.
Three rooms from the first floor remain intact, representing the only standing structural elements from medieval Oslo's original buildings.
