Most of the founders came from Mississippi Abbey, IOWA, USA, in 1999 along with two Norwegians. Today the new monastery is the new home of several nuns – from the Netherlands, France, Germany, England, Poland, Austria and Vietnam.
In 2006, the foundresses of this monastery – Tautra Mariakloster – completed the permanent monastery. The property where the foundresses previously lived, some 100 meters away, became the guesthouse.
Tautra Mariakloster is a monastic community, living according to Rule of St. Benedict. The nuns try to earn their daily living by producing herbal soaps and cosmetic creams.
Many visitors come to Tautra Mariakloster seeking peace and a deeper relationship with God. Tautra Mariakloster also offers volunteers to come and stay with them for a while. All visitors may enter the abbey at daytime.
TAUTRA KLOSTER, 8 dager i stillhet, uten SoMe. Et fantastisk opphold, nydelige møter med de mest empatiske mennesker, gjensyn med Munk Anthony! Stillhet, slående vakker natur - og prosjektet musikalen BAUGEID, vokste fra dag til dag - og midt et sted der alt var som det var den tiden BAUGEID var Abbedisse på Gimsøy kloster! Wow! Alltid en opplevelse! #monestary #tautramonestary #jeannebøe #actress #klosterliv #tautra #tautramariakloster #visittautra #tur #reise #musikal #
"Dieses Land, das trotzig schaut, Meerumbrandet, bergumbaut, Winterkalt und sommerbleich, Kurzes Lächeln, niemals weich, – Ist der Riese, der, gemeistert, Fördern soll, was uns begeistert. Er soll hämmern, er soll tragen, Er soll singen, er soll sagen, Er soll malen Glanz und Gischt: – Was da donnert, tost und zischt Zwischen Fjord und Bergeswacht, Schaff` uns eine Schönheitsmacht." Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson
