Illuminated Kylemore

This piece from the Illuminated Ireland series features Kylemore Abbey in Connemara.

 

Built in the late 1800’s by Mitchell Henry to honor his wife, until 2010 it was an exclusive boarding school.  These days it is strictly a very picturesque tourist attraction run by Benedictine nuns.
