Glenstal Abbey is a Benedictine monastery located in Murroe, County Limerick, Ireland. It runs an all boys boarding school. It is dedicated to Saint Joseph and Saint Columba. The current abbot of the monastery is Patrick Hederman OSB. The abbey is located in and beside Glenstal Castle, a Normanesque castle built by the Barrington family.

 

The picturesque grounds include lakes, forests and an old walled, terraced garden which features a "bible garden".

 

The monastery houses a secondary school in its grounds, Glenstal Abbey School, home to over two hundred students, and a staff base of over fifty people.

 

The organ is located at the top of the church, behind the altar, where it speaks directly down the body of the church. The key-action and stop-action are mechanical throughout. It was built by Kenneth Jones, Glendalough & Bray, in 1981.
