Kylemore Abbey
Originally called Kylemore Castle, this facility was built in 1867-1871 as a private residence for Mitchell and Margaret Henry. In 1920, it was purchased by Benedictine nuns, who opened a girls boarding schools three years later. The school and abbey are both still operational, but unfortunately the nuns have announced plans to close the school in 2010.

The Steine
This stone was erected in 1986 in the vicinity of the famous Steine, or Long Stone. The original stone was likely erected by Vikings in the 10th or 11th century to mark the landing spot for boats along the river Liffey, and became a major landmark in medieval Dublin. It was removed in the early 1700s when the river banks were channelized and narrowed, creating the land upon which the background buildings were constructed.
