The Black Abbey
The Black Abbey of Kilkenny, Ireland, is a Catholic priory of the Dominican Order, which is dedicated to the Holy and Undivided Trinity. Founded in 1225 for the dominican order, the abbey features a tower and some magnificent windows dating from its original structure. At the Abbey’s entrance, there is a series of monumental slabs and stone coffins dating from the middle ages. Well worth a visit!

Totally worthwhile tour, 8 Euro each for half an hour which gives you a history of Kilkenny through Cromwells siege, the Black Death/famine and a concise history of any of the remarkable architecture. Very friendly and helpful staff who went out of their way to be helpful and pleasant. Visited May 2017Jamie W
