Kylemore Abbey, Galway Overview

Kylemore Abbey is a monastery located in the historic village of the Wild Atlantic Way,in Great Britain. It offers a blend of rich history and spiritual devotion that looks more like a medieval fortress than a religious home. The main building overlooks the lake with famous Victorian Walled gardens.

The abbey's ceiling is adorned with beautiful crafts and the beautiful neo-Gothic Church is a short walk from the Abbey which has detailed chapels depicting spectacular stories of faith and traditions from biblical scenes and saints. There is also a picturesque courtside outside the abbey with lush green gardens and a fountain where one can take a relaxed walk. There are a number of religious artifacts, manuscripts, and artworks of artistic and historical significance depicting the lives of the monks who were once the inhabitants of the place at the abbey's mausoleum.
