Utstein Monastery

Utstein Monastery on Mosterøy combines medieval stone buildings, monastic history and a garden in a coastal island setting. The island setting makes the site an excursion in its own right.

Why go

The monastery’s surviving medieval architecture and garden reward a slower look than a quick photo stop. Its Mosterøy setting places the stone complex in a coastal landscape, giving Stavanger’s long history a different atmosphere from the museums and historic streets in the city centre.

What to look for

  • Medieval monastery architecture
  • Monastic garden on Mosterøy
