Errew Abbey, Medieval monastery near Crossmolina, Ireland.
The rectangular church of Errew Abbey stands on a small peninsula in Lough Conn, featuring trefoil-headed windows and preserved east cloister sections.
The Barrett family established an Augustinian monastery in 1413, using structures from an earlier foundation created by Saint Tigernan in the sixth century.
Archaeological records indicate that up to 1400 students from various European regions traveled to study at this religious center during its active period.
Visitors reach the ruins by following a country lane to a small parking area, then walking through grassland for approximately ten minutes.
The monastery contains a section called Templenagalliaghdoo, meaning Church of the Black Nun, located 150 meters north of the main structure.
