Dunbrody Cistercian Abbey
Dunbrody Abbey was established near the Campile River as the daughter house of Mary’s Abbey in Dublin in 1182, under the patronage of Norman nobleman Hervey de Montmorency.
The Abbey was dissolved under the Dissolution of the Monasteries after 1534, and became a residence for a period.
