Augustinian abbey to visit in Cong, founded in the 12thby Turlough O'Connor on amonastic site.

The Augustinian Abbey of Cong was founded in the 12th century by Turlough O'Connor, High King of Ireland, on a 7th-century monastic site. It is pleasantly labyrinthine, which adds some attraction to a visit to its ruins.

The Cross of Cong. The famous Cross of Cong has had a chequered history, since it came to Ireland from Rome around the 12th century. It symbolises the town, even though it is in the National Museum in Dublin. This processional cross, 75 cm high, was for a long time kept by the monks of Cong Abbey

Je me suis rendu pour la seconde fois à Cong pour revoir les ruines du monastère mais mon impression initiale n'a pas été confirmée ... un peu décevant, sauf en ce qui concerne le cadre environnant, la rivière et le village avec ses maison typiques. Le bloc de béton faisant office d'église à côté fait vraiment tâche !! Lieu intéressant mais ne mérite pas le détour plus que ça ...

L'abbaye de Cong est à voir, tout comme ce beau village et son parc très agréable.
Pour ceux qui aiment, à ne pas manquer, pas loin, à côté de Headford, en pleine campagne : Ross Emily Abbey. L'abbaye franciscaine la mieux conservée d’Irlande, à visiter !
