🎶 I see Munkholmen bathed in gold tonight, it shines like a beautiful ruby 🎶 - Åge Aleksandersen Just after the year 1000, a Benedictine monastery was built on the islet, which is now called Munkholmen. Probably one of the first two in the Nordic region. In 1658, the monastery was converted into a fortress and prison, and later also into a customs station. . . . 📍Munkholmen 📷 by @heriram
