Kylemore Abbey, Connemara, Co Galway.

The Abbey was built in the late 1800s as a home for the Mitchell family. In 1920 it was acquired by the Benedictine order of nuns who used it as a boarding school for girls. The school is now closed but the nuns remain and Sunday Mass is open to the public.
As well as the magnificent Abbey there is also a Gothic style church and walled garden on the site.
