Meelick Franciscan Friary, Co. Galway
This church was founded in the early 15th Century by the O’Madden family. It’s located on the banks of the River Shannon at Meelick.
The Franciscan Friars who built it were ejected at the Reformation, but they returned and used it until 1853, when the last prior died.
It was renovated in 1985, and this renovation brought the addition of modern altar furniture. Today it plays host to the occasional celebrity wedding!
