Murrisk Priory, Medieval monastery ruins in County Mayo, Ireland
The stone structure stands at the base of Croagh Patrick mountain, featuring remaining walls and architectural elements from its original construction.
Established in 1401 by the Augustinian order, the priory served as a religious center until its decline during the Protestant Reformation period.
The priory grounds connect to the National Famine Memorial, marking the location where many gathered during the Great Famine of 1845.
Visitors can access the ruins without entry fees throughout the year, with parking facilities available near the Croagh Patrick visitor center.
The priory walls contain carved stone window frames and door elements that demonstrate medieval Irish architectural techniques and craftsmanship.
