The Castle became an Abbey when it was purchased by the Benedictine nuns in 1920. The neo-Gothic Church (under restoration) is a centre of reflection and prayer for many visitors who are also able to view the Mausoleum where the original owners are buried. Our complimentary shuttle bus service takes visitors to the 6-acre Victorian Walled Garden (under restoration) re-opened by the Nuns in 2000. At the end of your visit, why not browse in our Craft Shop and view our unique Kylemore Abbey Pottery as it is produced in our Pottery Studio, or relax over a cup of coffee in our Restaurant.
