About

Rushen Abbey was gifted by King Olaf for use as a monastery in 1134. Rushen Abbey came under Cistercian control and was developed as the Isle of Man’s seat of religious power housing the main body of knowledge and literacy for the Island. Today the remains of the Abbey sit in the peace of the Abbey Gardens. The visitor centre tells its story from 1134 to the present day.
