The Irish saint St. Kevin (c. 498–618 AD), from a noble family in Leinster, was trained as a monk and then sought solitude – here in Glendalough as a hermit. Around 540, he withdrew to this remote valley to live in seclusion, asceticism, and prayer. Legends tell that he had deer, otters, and birds as friends. But as it sometimes happens: disciples soon followed him, and a monastic community was established (545 AD), which developed into one of the most important monasteries in Ireland (heyday: 10th–12th centuries). A 30-meter-high round tower (10th–11th centuries), the ruins of the cathedral (1214), a stone church (St. Kevin's Kitchen), and a house still remain. – Very pretty and mystical, the whole thing in the middle of the cemetery.

The view from below across the lake to the house is beautiful.

Triton Lake at Powerscourt Estate is a captivating feature within the Italian Garden. 🌊✨ Overlooked by life-sized winged Pegasus Horses, these zinc sculptures were crafted in 1869 by Professor Hugo Hagen in Berlin and symbolize Greek mythology's creators of springs and carriers of Zeus' thunderbolts. The dramatic fountain at the lake’s center is inspired by Rome’s Piazza Barberini, adding an elegant touch to the serene landscape. 🐎🏛️ The combination of mythological art and natural beauty makes Triton Lake a must-visit spot.
