Monk’s Island (Munkholmen) is a fortified islet north of Trondheim. Over its 1,000-year history, Monk’s Island has been used as a monastery, a fortress, a prison and an execution site. Today, it provides a historic backdrop to a popular swimming spot. Join a guided tour of Monk’s Island or have a meal with stunning coastal views at the island’s restaurant. The first recorded use of Monk’s Island was in the late 10th century, when the Vikings used it as an execution site. The executed were regularly displayed on the island as a warning to visitors, criminals and political opponents. As your boat approaches the island, look for the steadfast stone fortifications that encircle the landmass. The 18th-century structure was built on the former site of a Benedictine monastery that was established in the early 12th century. Disembark from the boat and begin exploring this fascinating pocket of history. Join a guided tour to learn about the interesting incarnations of the island throughout the ages. Check out the tall stone ramparts topped by a grassy mound and a fortress tower. Wander around the medieval courtyard or make your way into the dark interior of the round tower. This building was used as a prison until the late 19th century. Explore the upper levels of the fort to see remnants of the occupation by Nazi German forces in World War II. The island also has a scenic swimming beach, where you can enjoy shallow waters protected by an outlying sandbank. Take a seat at the restaurant located on the island to enjoy a meal of fresh seafood with panoramic views of the surrounding coastline. A souvenir shop stocks interesting gift items and books. A scenic passenger ferry connects Munkholmen to the canals of Trondheim harbour. There is a fee to access the island via ferry. Guided tours are available for an additional cost. Ferries run once an hour and the trip takes approximately 10 minutes. The island is accessible between May and September. ## Plan a trip to see Monk's Island Price found within the past 48 hours.
