About this place

The Adare Franciscan Friary was a medieval monastery in Adare, County Limerick, Ireland. It is not to be confused with two other monastic structures in the village: the Augustinian Adare Friary and the Trinitarian Adare Abbey. Today, the complex consists of largely intact ruins on the grounds of Adare Manor Golf Club, in the vicinity of Adare Manor.
