Kylemore Abbey is one of the most admired and photographed buildings in Ireland. It was built over a 5 year period from 1863 to 1868 by English business tycoon, Mitchell Henry. Henry and his bride had first seen the property on their honeymoon and Henry later purchased the 9000 acre site to build a dream castle for his wife. During World War I, refugee nuns from Belgium took it over; it is now an exclusive girl's boarding school.
