About this stone

This beautifully preserved 15th-century Franciscan monastery is famous for its peaceful cloisters and the iconic ancient yew tree at its center, a symbol of centuries of history and resilience. Despite being damaged and rebuilt multiple times over the centuries, it still stands as one of the most atmospheric historic sites in the region. The grounds offer a contemplative atmosphere where medieval architecture and natural beauty converge, making it a compelling destination for those drawn to Ireland's monastic heritage.
