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.

Un lieu où se mêlent histoire, nature, romantisme et spiritualité. C est une visite sans stress à faire à son rythme.

Irish Friend invited us on a beautiful walk around the lake and visit to the gardens with option to visit the abbey. Unfortunately, they put a fence around everything and charge almost 20€ to get past it, so you end up paying for a bus ride to a parking lot with a restaurant and shop. I'm fine with paying to visit the abbey but fencing the nature is appalling.
