Killeshin is an important medieval monastery and has been a centre of learning and culture since early Christian times. The present church, built c.1150, is well worth visiting not only for its beautiful Romanesque doorway—one of the finest examples in Ireland—but also for its scenic setting.
Nestled in the peaceful countryside, Killeshin offers wonderful views across the Barrow Valley to the Blackstairs Mountains earning it the nickname “The Balcony of Carlow”. The church’s Romanesque doorway is especially unique, featuring one of the few triangular gables above the arches found in Ireland.
Attractions: Óisín Park with picnic area and children’s playground. Slieve Margy long distance walking route.
