Jerpoint Abbey
Thomastown Kilkenny - Ireland SouthAn outstanding Cistercian abbey, a mile to the south-west of Thomastown, founded in the latter half of the 12th century by Donal MacGillapatrick, King of Ossory in 1158. . The abbey was occupied some 30 years later by the Cistercians from Baltinglass, Co. Wicklow. The remarkable 12th century foundation is very impressive, even as a ruin, with a beautifully carved 15th century sculptured cloister arcade. The tower also dates from this period. Some 13th to 16th century tomb sculptures in the transept chapels include that of Felix O'Dulany, Bishop of Ossory (1178 - 1202). The small visitor centre houses an informative exhibition. Limited access for visitors with disabilities. Guided tours are provided.
