I know those pictures are not everyone’s cup of tea but I never tire of taking pictures of the impressive buildings around Nenagh. It is a town rich in history and its buildings form part of its many historic attractions.
13th Century Nenagh Castle. A project is currently under way to develop the castle and its surrounds. This project will position the castle as the main tourist attraction in the area.
St Mary Of The Rosary Parish Church. This neo-gothic church was built in 1895 to a design by architect Walter G Doolin. It was constructed by John Sisk using local stone and slate with the Portland stone of the arches being the only imported material
Nenagh Courthouse. Nenagh Courthouse was built in 1843 to the design of Architect John B Keane.
Another View of the Courthouse which shows the one remaining old jail cell block and the octagonal governor's residence which is now happily reduced to a museum. In front of the courthouse you can see the monument to the three Olympic Gold Medalists who came from Nenagh.
Twenty or so miles from Nenagh stands the famous Holy Cross Abbey. The Abbey is a restored Cistercian monastery in Holycross near Thurles, County Tipperary, Ireland, situated on the River Suir. It takes its name from a relic of the True Cross or Holy rood.
