Kylemore Abbey is an iconic heritage site located in the picturesque Connemara region of County Galway in Ireland. Built in the 19th century by Mitchell and Henry Edward Kendall, it was originally constructed as a private home for the wealthy family. It has now become one of the country’s most visited tourist spots, acclaimed for its breathtaking beauty and rich history.
The abbey was acquired by the Benedictine Nuns in 1920 who turned it into a boarding school for girls and built a chapel onsite. The nuns also created a large walled garden to provide fresh produce to sustain their self-sufficient lifestyle. This garden became one of Kylemore’s main attractions with its picturesque walking trails and stunning views across Lough Corrib and Killary Harbour.
The majestic beauty of Kylemore Abbey is unparalleled. From its exquisite Victorian walled gardens to its awe-inspiring Gothic church, it truly is a sight to behold. Visitors can explore the grounds which feature a lake, woodlands and ruins from its past. Inside the abbey walls there are beautiful stained glass windows and intricately carved grand staircase. No visit to Ireland would not be complete without taking in all Kylemore Abbey has to offer – an inspirational journey through Irish culture and history that will leave you with unforgettable memories!
