Aghaboe Abbey
Right in the town of Aghaboe stands one of the most significant abbeys in Laois, which was founded by St. Canice in 576.
The original structure served as a centre of commerce, agriculture, and learning. Though replaced as an Irish church, some of the pieces of the Augustinian priory, such as a carved limestone dating from the Middle Ages, survived. The stone arches, tombs, windows, and other interesting elements are there for you to explore.
