“The Monks’ Island”. This was Trondheim’s execution ground in ancient times. Benedictine monks built a monastery on the island very early in the 11th century, probably one of the first two monasteries in Scandinavia. In 1658 it was converted into a prison and fortress, later becoming a customs house. Its most famous inmate was the Danish Count Peder Griffenfeld, who spent 18 years as a prisoner on the island. Today this is a popular recreational area, with good bathing and a restaurant.
