"Protected Cultural Memory / Selje monastery ruin"

Selja Island, Norway

"This has been a church since 1000 A.D., the seat of the Biship of Bjorgvinn, 1066-1170, and a Benedictine monastery from about 1100 to the Reformation, 1537. It is against the law to remove any item from this place. The National Heritage Trust.
