This Cistercian abbey dates from around 1200AD and is reputed to have been built on the remains of a Benedictine abbey founded by Donal MacGillapatrick, King of Ossory. With much of its interior still intact, Jerpoint provides a good insight into early Christian Ireland. Items of note includes a 14th-century east window, Irish-Romanesque transepts and chancel, and a 15th-century central tower. Access to the roof is available via the staircase and the tower's restored cloister piers feature a variety of unusual medieval carvings.
