Description
'Kylemore Abbey Victorian Ireland' - Photograph by Menega Sabidussi.
This stunning and tranquil spot is Kylemore Abbey in Connemara, County Galway, Ireland. Kylemore Abbey is a Benedictine monastery founded in 1920 on the grounds of Kylemore Castle. The castle was built 1867 as a private home for the Mitchell family and sold to the Duke and Duchess of Manchester in 1909, who resided there for several years until they had to sell because of gambling debts. In 1920 the Irish Benedictine Nuns purchased the Abbey castle and lands after they were forced to flee Ypres, Belgium during World War I. The Estate includes beautifully restored, large walled Victorian Gardens that are open for public tours and nature walks.
