Timoleague Friary

Timoleague Friary is a Franciscan friary located in Timoleague, County Cork. It was founded in 1240 by either the Anglo Norman de Barrys family or the MacCarthys of Desmond.
The friary is located on the site of an early Christian church dedicated to St Molaga, whose feast day was celebrated down to the seventeenth-century.
Timoleague is one of the few early Franciscan friaries with substantial standing remains in Ireland. Located in a medieval village in Co. Cork, it stands on the banks of the River Argideen overlooking Courtmacsherry Bay. The cellars are located in the east range and were connected directly to the river via an outbuilding.
Timoleague Franciscan friary is a National Monument.
