Kilemore Abbey





Henry então comprou 15 000 acres de terras e assim começaria a construção do castelo que é dos maiores cartões postais da Irlanda.


Henry ficou arrasado e em sua homenagem construiu uma mini catedral neo-gótica e um mausoléu.
Em 1903 o Castelo foi vendido e passou por diversos donos.
Até que em 1920 se tornou o lar das Freiras Beneditinas depois que a sua Abadia na Bélgica foi destruída durante a Primeira Guerra Mundial. Ali elas abriram um renomado internato para meninas e se encarregaram de restaurar tanto a agora Abadia como a Igreja e os suntuosos jardins.

Henry was devested and in her honor built a Neo-Gothic mini-cathedral and a mausoleum.
In 1903 the castle was sold and went through several owners.
Up until 1920 when it became the home for the Benedictine Sisters after their abbey in Belgium was destroyed during the first World War. There they opened a reputed boarding school for girls and started to restore what is now the Abbey, as well as the church and the sumptuous gardens.
