Tintern Abbey, Cistercian abbey in County Wexford, Ireland
The stone walls and Gothic arches of Tintern Abbey rise along the Hook Peninsula, surrounded by extensive gardens and woodland paths.
William Marshal founded this monastery in 1200 after surviving a dangerous sea storm, bringing monks from the Welsh Tintern Abbey.
The monastery follows Cistercian architectural principles with its nave, crossing tower, and domestic buildings arranged around a central cloister.
Visitors can explore the restored sections of the abbey, including the church, tower house, and columbarium throughout the year.
The abbey earned the name Tintern de Voto due to its foundation resulting from William Marshal's vow during the stormy sea journey.
