Gallen Priory

Ruined Augustinian priory near Ferbane, now folded into modern institutional grounds.

Gallen Priory is the remnant of a twelfth-century Augustinian foundation near Ferbane. The ruins are fragmentary, but they add another medieval layer to the Banagher and Shannonbridge area.

It is worth stopping if you are already tracing the small churches, castles, and monastic sites around the Shannon. Do not make it the only reason for the trip.
