    The Augustinian friary is situated to the east of Adare, on the banks of the river Maigue opposite the castle. The friary, also known as Black Abbey, was founded by John Fitzthomas Fitzgerald (c.1256-1316). This church became the Church of Ireland parish church and schoolhouse (now a private residence) and although restored in the nineteenth century, a fifteenth-century tower and charming small cloister are among the medieval features to survive.

    The Augustinian monastery is east of Adare on the banks of the Maigue river, opposite the castle. Also known as Black Abbey, the monastery was founded by John Fitzthomas Fitzgerald (c. 1256-1316). The church became the parish church of St Nicholas and the Church of Ireland schoolhouse. Although restored in the 19th century, some of the remaining medieval features include a 15th-century tower and a charming little cloister.
