Boyle Abbey

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

Boyle Abbey

One of the largest Cistercian abbeys in Ireland, at Boyle, County Roscommon, Republic of Ireland. It was founded in 1161 but took almost 60 years to build. Despite damage suffered in the reign of Elizabeth I and then in the Cromwellian era, it remains in remarkably well preserved condition. The chief feature is the cruciform church with the lower portions of the crossing tower dating from the time of original construction. It was closely associated with Mellifont Abbey in County Louth.
