Former Faith

To the left of the photograph the sisters greenhouse lies empty.

The overgrown convent grounds give little indication of the gloom that lay within.

Crumbling Courtyard

No sign of this courtyard now remains. Thankfully we documented this site before the developers moved in.

Sisters Graves

Two grave yards can be found in the convent grounds.

Heading for Ruin

Numerous outbuildings give some indication of the size of the convent operations.

The convent grounds are by far the largest structure in the town of Kinsale.

St Joseph’s

Before the developers moved in, this structure had been forgotten for decades.
