Roscommon Abbey, also known as the Dominican Priory of Roscommon, is a significant historical site located in Roscommon, Ireland. Founded in 1253 by King Felim O'Conor, the abbey was originally established for the Dominican Order. This medieval structure showcases Gothic architectural elements and has a rich history connected to the O'Conor family, who were influential in the region. Although the abbey fell into ruin over the centuries, its remains still include notable features such as the nave, chancel, and transept, as well as a striking east window.
