Killagha Abbey

Families can visit the ruins of Killagha Abbey, also known as Kilcolman Abbey, to see the remaining church nave, graveyard, and the restored East Window.
Killagha Abbey, also known as Kilcolman Abbey, was erected on the side of an older monastery around the 12th century. It was a very wealthy Abbey and held a lot of local power and had connections with the Irish House of Lords. Unfortunately, it was a victim to Cromwell's soldiers and never able to regain its former glory. This was once a very impressive building and traces of its architecture can still be seen to this day. Only the church with a single long nave remains, as well as the associated graveyard, but one can visit and view the well known East Window which was restored by a local community group.
It is situated outside Milltown Village, on the banks of the River Maine, just off the N70 road.
