Ballintubber Abbey
Ballintubber Abbey is situated two kilometres northeast of the village of Ballintubber, County Mayo in Ireland. Founded in 1216 by Cathal Crovderg O'Connor, Ballintubber Abbey is an important sacred Irish historical site which will celebrate its 800 year anniversary in 2016.
When St Patrick brought Christianity to Ireland in c.441AD, he founded a church at Ballintubber. The present Abbey was founded in 1216 by King Cathal O'Conor. It is the only church in Ireland still in daily use that was founded by an Irish king.
Visit Ballintubber Abbey, known as “the Abbey that refused to die.” Through its many vicissitudes, including burning by Cromwell's army in 1653, the Abbey has remained a place of worship despite years of continuous attacks and religious repression.
The abbey has several modern outdoor attractions, including a very modern abstract Way of the Cross, an underground permanent Crib, and a Rosary Way.

Customer Testimonial
Hi Stephanie,
I greatly apologize for just getting back to you now, the last month has been quite hectic!
We had a wonderful time in Ireland, so much so that I'm trying to convince my wife that we should move there one day! As far as feedback, everything was great and we enjoyed having the hotels booked in advance for us so we could show up at our leisure. I think the only negative thing I can think of is that perhaps the detailed itinerary was too detailed for the time we had.
Unfortunately, we do not have any video from when we were there, however we do have plenty of pictures. Is there a size limit on the picture files? We have an SLR digital camera so each picture is 5-10MB. And would you want pictures of just the scenery or pictures with us in them? Let me know and I'd be happy to help.
Cheers!Katie & Dennis Gallagher, Orlando, Florida
