Holycross Abbey was founded in 1182 AD by Dónal Mór Ó Briain, King of Limerick and reconstructed between 1400-1450 with the abbey being dissolved in 1540. It is a stunning building in very good condition.
The village also has a popular local pub should you fancy a refreshment.

Holycross Abbey is in splendid condition and is still in use as a parish church. So named due to the presence of a relic of the Cross of Christ's Crucifixion. Pilgrims have visited here for over 800 years. Guided tours are available but must be booked in advance. See the website for more details.
