Despite many mutilations due to several wars, it is still regarded as the finest of the Cistercian churches to survive in Ireland with the majesty of the south arcade unparalleled elsewhere in the country. An impressive and well preserved Cistercian Monastery which was founded in the 12th century under the patronage of the local ruling family, the MacDermotts. A restored gatehouse of 16th / 17th century houses an exhibition. Conducted tours of the Abbey and grounds are available (restricted access for people with disabilities).
