KYLEMORE ABBEY AND LAKE. A few kilometres east of Letterfrack is Kylemore Abbey ( www.kylemoreabbey.com) visitor centre and church and restored walled Victorian gardens. Magnificently situated on the shores of a lake, this crenellated 19th century neo-Gothic fantasy was built for a wealthy businessman Mitchell Henry, who spent his honeymoon in Connemara. His wife died tragically young. During WW1 a group of Benedictine nuns left Ypres in Belgium and eventually set up in Kylemore, turning the place into an Abbey. They also established an exclusive boarding school for girls which closed in 2010. Kylemore’s tranquillity is shattered in high summer with the arrival of dozens of tour coaches per day , each one followed through the gates by an average of 50 cars ( yes, about 2,750 cars per day)

Kylemore Abbey is a Benedictine monastery founded in 1920 on the grounds of Kylemore Castle, in Connemara, County Galway, Ireland. The abbey was founded for Benedictine Nuns who fled Belgium in World War I. The abbey has beautiful and historic walled gardens and glasshouses, and is well worth a visit.
