Youghal Priory, 12th-century Benedictine monastery in Youghal, Ireland
The monastic complex includes a Gothic moulded door, ornamental spandrels, and an original ambry within the remaining structure on Main Street.
Established in 1185 as a dependency of St John Priory in Waterford, the monastery operated until the Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII.
The monastery functioned both as a religious center and a hospital, providing medical care to the local population throughout its operational period.
Visitors can access the remaining sections of the initial building through an archway beyond the surviving Gothic door at the center of Youghal.
Oliver Cromwell established his military headquarters at the priory in 1649, conducting daily troop inspections from the monastery grounds.
