Marstrand Monastery

In 2017, archaeologists from Bohuslän Museum conducted an investigation at Marstrand, Kungälv municipality, where remains of the town's medieval Franciscan monastery were found. The find is considered to have great archaeological potential, and the site also has good potential to be developed into a significant visitor destination in a cultural tourism context. Bohusläns museum wants to be able to continue the archaeological investigation in the coming year, 2018. The project also includes several communication activities, which are planned to be carried out in collaboration with Marstrand's hembygdsmuseum. Bohusläns Museum's ambition is to investigate the entire monastery site in a few years' time and establish it as a permanent visitor destination.
