Architecture in Limerick

The ecclesiastical remains at Adare, Co. Limerick, arc picturesque and interesting. Situated close to Adare Manor, the seat of the Earl of Dunravcn. they consist of the ruins of three monasteries : one founded for Trinitarian Friars, another for Augustinian Hermits, and the third for Franciscan Friars Observant. The Trinitarian monastery was founded in 1230 a.d. ; the present remains consist of the church, and one wall of the buildings which composed the north side of the cloister, with a large tower at the western end, and a smaller one at the eastern end. The church has a nave, chancel and north transept, and a square central tower, with an embattled roof, at the junction of the nave and chancel. The north transept was lengthened and converted into a convent schoolroom in the last century. The church was repaired, enlarged, and the chancel rebuilt in 1852. Near it is an interesting low dovecot of circular form with a conical stone roof.
