Years ago, tours of the monastery were given on weekdays and Saturdays. When tours became too frequent because of increasing numbers of visitors, we reduced the number. Many people still ask to be shown about the monastery, so we have put together this virtual and self-guided tour. It will take you to places where on our previous tours visitors were never allowed to enter.

Below is an aerial picture of the New Melleray. As you move your mouse pointer over the picture, you will see that the cursor turns into a little hand. If you pause, a small banner will appear that tells you what you are pointing at. If you would like to learn more about that part of the monastery, simply click and you will be taken to another page with several pictures and more explanation.
