Kylemore Abbey's Benedictine Monastery, Education, and Retreat Centre has been shortlisted in the RIAI Irish Architecture Awards 2025

The Monastery, Education, and Retreat Centre which opened in August 2024, has been shortlisted in the RIAI Public Choice Award which celebrates excellence in the design and delivery of buildings by Registered Architects.


The Monastery which sits on the edge of Pollacappul Lough, under the rugged Duchruach Mountain and close to Kylemore Abbey. Context, scale, materiality, and visual assimilation were never more important. The form of the monastery springs from a central garth and cloister before emerging outwards in a series of brick volumes of varying height, width and scale resulting in a building that rests peacefully within its context.
