Originally built in 1868 as a grand neo-Gothic castle by Mitchell Henry for his wife, this stunning estate later became a Benedictine monastery in 1920. Today, it remains a working monastery, home to a community of Benedictine nuns who continue their traditions of prayer and hospitality. Surrounded by a serene lake, lush woodlands, and Victorian walled gardens, Kylemore Abbey offers visitors a chance to explore its rich history and beautiful architecture.
