SELSKAR ABBEY
Superb ruins of Selskar Abbey, a site steeped in history with a tower and church.
Here you can admire the beautiful ruins of Selskar Abbey. Here is an abbey built in 1190 on the site of a Viking temple dedicated to the god Odin. And a tower which dates from the XIVth century, the church, more recent, of the XIXth. It is said that Henry II came here in penance after the murder of Thomas Becket, his former ally, in Canterbury Cathedral. The abbey was damaged during Cromwell's visit to Wexford in 1649. A nice walk in perspective during a walk in the county of Wexford for the visitors of passage.
