Coordonnées GPS: 52°34'04.1N 8°47'05.3W
Ce monastère a été fondé au XIVe siècle par John Fitzthomas Fitzgerald. Il se trouve à proximité des rives de la rivière Maigue, à mi-chemin entre l'abbaye trinitaire et le château de Desmond.
Il est connu également sous le nom de Black Abbey. Celui-ci a également été restauré au XIXe siècle, la tour et le cloître ayant été conservés, et depuis ce temps, il est utilisé comme église protestante locale.
On y retrouve de jolis vitraux, un orgue monumental ainsi qu'un cloître qui date du XVe siècle et qui est encore aujourd'hui en excellent état de conservation. Plusieurs autres éléments architecturaux sont également à découvrir.
L'ancien réfectoire, quant à lui, avait été couvert et transformé en une école.

Swanwood Travels to Adare Desmond Castle 9.6.18
Day 4 of our Ireland Adventure. We left our lakeside cottage rental on Lough Derg to head to the mountainside of Kenmare. On our way to Kenmare, we stopped at the Adare Demond Castle and it surely didn't disappoint.
We arrived at the visitor center just minutes after the last tour left on the bus. The receptionist phoned the tour guide and asked her to wait for us. We were able to drive through the gates of the castle like royalty and join the tour just a few minutes late.
While it rained through much of the tour, our spirits were lifted by the enthusiasm and knowledge of our tour guide. We learned so much and enjoyed the history of the community. The 500 year old yew trees in the courtyard absolutely took my breath away...a sight to behold!

The Cross of Cong (1123) Augustinian Friary at Cong, Co Mayo Ireland
The Cross of Cong was made in 1123 to encase a fragment of the True Cross that was brought to Ireland and displayed in different places around the country. The cross is so-called because it was kept in the Augustinian Friary at Cong, county Mayo, for centuries.
The Cross of Cong represents the conclusion of a long tradition of distinctively Irish church metalwork. It is decorated in an impressive range of styles and can be considered to be one of the greatest treasures of the era.
It was made to enshrine a relic of the True Cross, known from written sources to have been acquired in AD 1122 by Toirrdelbach Ua Conchobair (Turlough O’Conor), High King of Ireland. The cross was designed for processional use, although it may have been mostly used as an altar cross. It has an oak core which is covered by plates of cast bronze. A large polished rock crystal on the front of the cross at the junction of the arms and shaft was intended to protect the relic, which does not survive. The rock crystal is set in a conical mount surrounded by a flange decorated with gold filigree, niello and blue and white glass bosses. The bronze plates on the surfaces of the cross are cast openwork and are decorated with ribbon-shaped intertwined animals in the Scandinavian-derived Urnes style.
The inscription on the sides of the cross identifies Toirrdelbach Ua Conchobair as the patron and Máel Ísú mac Bratáin Uí Echach as the craftsman. Two prominent churchmen are also mentioned. The inscription, which is in Irish, is framed by two identical lines in Latin that translate as ‘by this cross is covered the cross on which the creator of the world suffered’.
The Cross of Cong consists of an oak core that is encased in sheet brass and cast decorative brass plates
The cross is elaborately decorated with gold filigree, gilding, silver sheeting, niello and silver inlay, and glass and enamel settings. At its centre is a large piece of rock crystal. The fragment of the True Cross would have been housed under this, and it would have been visible through it. The fragment has long been lost.
The cross is 760 mm high, 480 mm wide and 35 mm in thickness.
The Cross of Cong is an exquisite work of art
It is one of the greatest expressions of Irish craftsmanship in the twelfth century. The cross is also one of the great works of European art of this time.
The ornamentation on the Cross is the culmination of the earlier “celtic” style of decoration that graced the great treasures of the eighth and ninth centuries, but with the added enrichment of the incorporation of Viking styles of the eleventh and twelfth centuries.
New discoveries about the Cross of Cong
When the Cross of Cong was being prepared to travel to the Museum of Country Life at Turlough Park, significant new discoveries were made:
Evidence of several previous investigations has been found – most recently in the 1960s.
Rather than being made of sheet bronze, as was previously thought, we now know that it was made of sheets of brass and cast brass.
The wooden cross that is the core of the Cross of Cong is made of oak; it is fractured just below the crossing of the two members and this is what causes the structural weakness in the Cross of Cong.
Most significantly, when the rock crystal and its mount at the centre of the cross were removed, another cross was found incised on the oak core of the Cross of Cong – of a type we now call the cross of Lorraine – and which is a symbol of the True Cross. This was carved at the time of the making of the cross. See image below.
There are indications that there was an earlier circular container underneath the rock crystal, and that this may have contained the fragment of the True Cross.

#worldinmyeyes - King John's Castle , Limerick, Ireland - June/2017
King John's Castle (Irish: Caisleán Luimnigh) is a 13th-century castle located on King's Island in Limerick, Ireland, next to the River Shannon.[1] Although the site dates back to 922 when the Vikings lived on the Island, the castle itself was built on the orders of King John in 1200. One of the best preserved Norman castles in Europe, the walls, towers and fortifications remain today and are visitor attractions.[2] The remains of a Viking settlement were uncovered during archaeological excavations at the site in 1900.
