Meelick Franciscan Friary

Meelick

Of the original church there remain the walls, the west doorway and, in the south wall, two aisle arches (with a figure of St. Francis inserted later between them) and another beside the alter which led to a now no longer existing south transept.

The east window is a modern insertion, but the west window probably dates to a partial reconstruction in the 17th century, when a door to the sacristy was inserted. Parts of the east and west portions of the domestic buildings still stand.

The 15th century Franciscan friary, situated on a hill overlooking the River Shannon, is one of the few medieval churches in Ireland still used by the Catholic church.
