Step back in time at Old Mellifont Abbey! 🌿✨

Founded in 1142 by Saint Malachy, this was Ireland’s first-ever Cistercian monastery and a true landmark in Irish history. Stroll through the ruins and explore impressive medieval architecture, including the unique two-storey octagonal lavabo from the 12th century. Don’t miss the OPW Visitor Centre’s exhibition, featuring carved stone fragments uncovered during excavations.

But here’s a little insider tip: for the full experience, plan your visit in summer! That’s when the OPW Visitor Centre opens with a fascinating exhibition, and guided tours bring the stories of the monks and masonry to life ☀️

📍 Old Mellifont Abbey, Mellifont, Tullyallen Village
