Benedictine Abbey at Kylemore, a former castle with magnificent Victorian gardens, neo-Gothic church and lake.
The monastery, which rises towards Mount Dúchruach, was originally a castle, built in 1867 by Mitchell Henry, an English businessman. He then sold it to the Benedictine nuns, who moved in after the First World War. It became an institution for young girls, who left the premises in 2010. You can visit the restored period rooms and the magnificent Victorian gardens, which have been restored to their former glory (free shuttle bus from April to October). It's also worth taking a stroll down to the lake to discover the neo-Gothic church.

The most liked place for visitors in Ireland. This place has a very vintage and historical vibe. The main attraction here is the Abbey. It describes the history of that place perfectly. The small church represents great religious significance. The entire Abbey connects with beautiful pathways. Every pathway has an information board about that place and nature. The Victoria garden and walls are managed well by property. Overall, it was a great Irish experience. The only problem they have is bus schedules facilitating travel within the property. If you miss a bus, you'll either have to wait for a while or have to go around because the bus doesn't stop in between.

Völlig überteuert leider. Da macht man lieber nur ein Foto vom Parkplatz aus

Beautiful place, I’m stunned about the size of the property. Big free car park. Actually best photo location for the Abbey is from the car park so you do not need to pay anything, but…buy ticket and explore. There is even shuttle bus that can get you to the gardens for someone that does not or can’t walk to the gardens (around 1.2km) from the Abbey. Way to the Abbey (Wild Atlantic Road) is amazing and is unique attraction as well.
