Kylemore Abbey is a Benedictine Monastery founded in 1920 on the grounds of Kylemore Castle. The Abbey was founded for Benedictine nuns who fled Belgium in World War I. Today Kylemore Abbey continues its mission as a Benedictine monastery. Kylemore Castle was built in 1868 as a private home for the family of a wealthy doctor from London.

We arrived at the Abbey right before closing. At first, they didn't want to let us in, but we managed to get tickets and tour the abbey, but not the walled gardens, though I slipped through the fence to take a peak. We were able to walk the grounds surrounding the abbey. They were beautiful. Well-kept. I remember Lara calling her mom while we were there. She facetimed her, so she could see some of the gorgeous scenery. Poor Robin had Covid.
