Kylemore Abbey

19th-century castle between Letterfrack and Leenane in the Pass of Kylemore, County Galway, Republic of Ireland. It was designed about 1860 by James Franklin Fuller and Ussher Roberts for Mitchell Henry, a wealthy Liverpool merchant and member of Parliament, and was afterwards the seat of the 9th Duke of Manchester. In 1920 the abbey was bought by the Irish Dames of Ypres, an order of Benedictine nuns, and is now a convent and school. The castle is undergoing restoration and is one of the most photographed buildings in the west of Ireland.
