Moore Abbey is a monastic house at Monasterevin in County Kildare.
History
Moore Abbey was built by the English engineer Christopher Myers in the Gothic style for Charles Moore, 1st Marquess of Drogheda in 1767.[1] The 10th Earl of Drogheda abandoned the house after the First World War and it was leased to John McCormack, the tenor, from 1925 to 1937.[2] The 10th Earl then put the abbey up for sale shortly after McCormack moved out[1] and in 1938 it became the Irish headquarters of the Sisters of Charity of Jesus and Mary, now known as the Muiriosa Foundation.[3]
