The ruined Murrisk Abbey set on the seaward side
of the
village of Murrisk was an
Augustinian abbey founded in 1457 by the O'Malley family.
Despite being suppressed in the Reformation, it survived with a
small community of monks for some time.
Murrisk is also the site of the Murrisk Millennium Peace Park,
at the base of Croagh Patrick. Ireland's National Famine
Memorial.
The abstract sculpture resembles a coffin ship
filled with dying people, and is sited within a park overlooking
Clew Bay
This famine memorial was designed by Irish artist
John Behan and the monument unveiled in July 1997 by President
Mary Robinson.
