Ennis Friary

Ennis Friary was a Franciscan friary in Ennis. It was established in the middle of the 13th century by the ruling O'Brien dynasty who supported it for most of its existence. After the construction of a new Church of Ireland building, the friary fell into ruin. Managed by the Office of Public Works since the late 19th century, it was formally returned to the Franciscan Order in 1969.
Today the friary remains in a ruined state but is open to the public. It is a National Monument of Ireland.
