While in Kilkenny, we wandered around and happened upon the Black Abbey. It was founded in 1225 by the Earl of Prombroke. A tower was added in 1507. Inside, it was quite unique. Most churches are in the shape of a cross or a rectangle. This one was an "L" shape. It was still quite nice inside and has been well restored. While it was being restored, an alabaster statue of the Holy Trinity was found in a wall and is displayed in a wall today.
