Muckross Abbey

Welcome to FlightLink's guide to one of Killarney's most treasured landmarks, Muckross Abbey. As you journey between Killarney and Dublin Airport with us, we want to ensure you make the most of your time in the beautiful region of Killarney.

A Glimpse into History

Muckross Abbey, nestled in the heart of Killarney National Park, stands as a testament to Ireland's rich monastic history. Founded in 1448, this well-preserved abbey was once home to Irish monks and has witnessed centuries of history, from its establishment under the patronage of Donal ‘an Diamh’ MacCarthy to the turbulent times when it faced destruction by Protestant forces.

What to Expect

As you approach the abbey, you'll be greeted by the serene surroundings of Killarney National Park. The abbey itself is a marvel of ancient architecture, with its rectangle nave, chancel Church, and an inserted central tower. The cloisters beautifully surround a courtyard that houses an ancient Yew tree, believed to be as old as the abbey itself. This tree is not only a symbol of the abbey's longevity but also holds legends of its own.

Nearby Attractions

While Muckross Abbey is a gem in itself, the surrounding area is dotted with attractions. From the majestic Muckross House to the tranquil waters of Lough Leane by Ross Castle, there's plenty to explore.
