CHURCH OF THE SEVEN DAUGHTERS

Located at the western end of the Renvyle peninsula, the church of the Seven Daughters or ‘Teampaill na Seacht nInion’, is believed to have been built by a Leinster King or an Omey Island chief in thanks for cures his daughters received from the nearby holy well.

As a result of their cure, these seven sisters are said to have preached along the Connemara coast. The church is quite ruinous with just three surviving walls. In addition, surrounding the church is a somewhat overgrown graveyard, which hosts some interesting graves and memorials.
