📍 From Inside, Ireland
Kylemore Abbey is a beautiful monastery surrounded by a stunning landscape in Shanaveg, Ireland. The 19th-century abbey was originally built as a castle for the family of Mitchell Henry, who bought it in 1867. The castle was later converted into a convent and school for the Benedictines, and is now home to several tourist attractions. Inside the Abbey, visitors can explore the Gothic-style chapel, the main hall, library, and passageways. The breathtaking Victorian walled garden, set in over 6 acres, is also worth exploring. An international boarding school for girls resides in the Abbey today. However, many of the original features survive, such as the nine-arched Gothic doorway, and the abbey can be seen in its 19th-century state in winter. The Abbey also doubles as a place to stay, with 8 rooms available to make a comfortable overnight stay. The surrounding landscape of Kylemore Abbey is a photographer’s dream and is perfect for anyone who loves the beauty of nature.
