County Kilkenny, Jerpoint Abbey, OPW

For any of those interested in Irelands Christian ancestory, this abbey is an important place to visit. The abbey was built in the 12th century by Donal MacGillapatrick for the Benedictine monks.

On the inside of the abbey grave stones carved as past monks can be seen. If your ever near Thomastown in Kilkenny, give this place a look.
