Located in the historic village of Quin lies the ruins of the Quin Monastic Friary, known locally as Quin Abbey. Consisting of a series of complex buildings, Quin Abbey is located next to the Rine River.
The Rine River runs alongside Quin Abbey.
Construction of the friary began about 1350 on the ruins of an old Anglo-Norman castle. Quin Abbey was home to a friary of Franciscan monks who maintained a presence here until the early 16th century.
Quin Abbey is one of the best-preserved friaries of its kind in Ireland and is currently managed by the Office of Public Works (OPW).
