Excerpt from Wikipedia
Sligo Abbey (Irish:Mainistir Shligigh), a ruined abbey in Sligo, Ireland, (officially called the Dominican Friary of Sligo) was originally built in 1253 by Maurice Fitzgerald, Baron of Offaly. It was destroyed in 1414 by a fire, ravaged during the Nine Years' War in 1595 and once more in 1642 during the Irish Confederate Wars. The friars moved out in the 18th century, but Lord Palmerston restored the Abbey in the 1850s. Currently, it is open to the public.
It appears in two short stories by William Butler Yeats:The Crucifixion of the Outcast, set in the Middle Ages, andThe Curse of the Fires and of the Shadows describing its destruction in 1641.
