Lyse Abbey Description
Close by the villa of Ole Bull on Lysøy island are the ruins of Lyse Abbey, the first Cistercian house in Norway, founded in 1146 by monks from York. Excavations were carried out here in 1822 and 1838, and the remains give a vivid impression of monastic life in the Middle Ages.
