At this point, St. Moninna founded an early Christian community in the late 5th century. No buildings from their time have survived as they were made of wood. What you can see here is a ruin that originally consisted of two churches; the western one is from the 10./11. Century and the eastern from the later Middle Ages.

Beyond the Horizon

3 de outubro de 2023

Here, many centuries ago, St. Moninna sought a place of peace and worship in the late 5th century and founded an early Christian community. Although no buildings remain from their time - for they were made of wood, a testament to their humble existence - the ground itself tells stories of a bygone era.

As the wind blows through the grasses, one can almost hear the echoes of prayers and chants that once echoed in these hallowed halls. The visible evidence of history are the ruins of two churches. The West Church, built in the 11th century, bears the traces of a time of deep faith and cultural change. A few steps further rises the Eastern Church from the 15th century, a silent witness to the late medieval period, which was marked by religious and social changes.

The monastery founded here functioned not only as a spiritual place, but also as a center of learning and community. Founded in 517 AD by St Moninna, it gained a reputation as one of the most important nunneries in medieval Ireland. It became a beacon of knowledge and devotion in a time often marked by turmoil and uncertainty.
