mcdonegal1 > Rathfarnham Abbey Now known as Loreto Abbey, Rathfarnham Abbey was built in 1725 for William Palliser, a decendant of a Yorkshire family, who settled in Wexford during the 17th century. In 1821 the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin, Dr. Daniel Murray bought it for £2,000 (about €2,300) to set up a school. In 1822, after significant renovation, Sr. Teresa (Frances Ball) and her fellow sisters moved into the establishment. Sr. Teresa became known as Mother Teresa since she was the head of the order. She renamed the place Loreto, in honour of the Holy House in Nazareth, Loreto, Italy. Mother Teresa began a building programme and this was continued on by her successors. Probably the most famous connection with the building is that Mother Teresa of Calcutta entered religon at Loreto Abbey in 1928 at the age of 18.

After the attainder and execution for treason of Eustace FitzArnold Le Poer, the castle was granted in 1375 to James, second Earl of Ormonde, whose family retained possession until 1650, when it was captured by the Cromwellian regicide, Colonel Axtel, and subsequently dismantled.
