Klosterøy - Utstein Abbey

In the fjord to the north of Stavanger are numerous islands and islets. On the little Klosterøy, which is linked with the larger island of Mosterøy by a bridge, is the Augustinian abbey of Utstein (first mentioned in the records in the 13th century), the best preserved monastic house in Norway. Klosterøy can be reached from Stavanger by motor launch.
