Monaincha Church, Medieval church in Roscrea, Ireland.
The stone structure contains a decorated sandstone chancel arch and features a Romanesque doorway with detailed carvings and architectural elements.
Founded in the eighth century and rebuilt in the twelfth century, the church gained recognition as a major pilgrimage destination in the Munster region.
The church incorporates a high cross made from various fragments, displaying carvings of horsemen, the crucifixion scene, and traditional Celtic patterns.
Located 2.5 kilometers from Roscrea town center, the church stands on an island within the former bog lake of Loch Cré.
The King's Mirror, a thirteenth-century manuscript, describes this location as a place where people experienced slower aging than elsewhere.
