Muckross Friary

Location

Killarney National Park , Co. Kerry

History

Image This Franciscan Friary was founded in the 15th century and is in a remarkable state of preservation. The tower was added after the church was built and is the only Franciscan tower in Ireland which is as wide as the church. The cloister and its associated buildings are complete and an old yew tree stands in the centre. The monks were finally driven out by the Cromwellians in 1652. See also Muckross House and Gardens , Muckross Traditional Farms , Killarney National Park, and Ross Castle .
