Abbey

The village of Abbey in East Galway takes its name from Kilnalahan Abbey, a 13th-century monastic site and the only Carthusian House in Ireland—a unique piece of the country’s religious history.

Nearby, you’ll find Lady Well, a historic holy well dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Renowned for its healing properties, the well remains a popular pilgrimage site, with Mass celebrated there on special occasions. A peaceful destination steeped in history and tradition.
