Review:

Kylemore Abbey is a Benedictine monastery that was established in 1920 at Kylemore Castle. The abbey was built for nuns who fled war-torn Belgium during World War I. Visitors can visit restored rooms in the abbey and learn about the site’s history. The grounds also include beautiful Victorian walled gardens that are spread over 6 acres. The gardens feature a range of beautiful plants and nicely restored garden buildings, and there are paths for walking through the woods or along the lakeshore, offering a pleasant way to experience the grounds. Near the abbey is a beautiful Gothic church and the Mausoleum of Mitchell and Margaret Henry.
