HISTORIC PRESERVATION at Duiske Abbey.
The abbey preserves its substantial thirteenth-century Cistercian church, including much of its original nave, transepts, tower, and several carved medieval tomb effigies, though its monastic cloister and domestic ranges have not survived above ground.

About Duiske Abbey
Duiske Abbey was founded in 1204 as a Cistercian monastery, one of a network of houses that spread the order's monasticism through medieval Ireland. Monks there followed a life of prayer, manual labor, and agriculture typical of the Cistercian rule, supported by grants of land from Anglo-Norman patrons. It served as a center of monastic life in County Kilkenny.
