Exploring an Abandoned Irish Boys School with Stunning Chapel

In this video, we explore a large abandoned religious school used as a nursing home in later years in Ireland. The building contains ornate architecture, belongings left behind and a stunning church, dating back to the early 1800s.

[@philipmcdonagh1094]

Welcome to Ireland. Another Irish building with a pre nursing home history of abuse. Cant figure out the older looking church tower bit just looks out of place. Thanks for sharing and taking the trouble of popping over here.

[@Urbandoned]

No problem, we're glad you enjoyed the video. Ireland is always a pleasure to visit

[@nataliesmith303]

Some great doorways captured, it’s a shame they can’t be enjoyed by someone making the most of the building 🥺

[@Urbandoned]

Agreed :(

[@arrahsweetpea944]

I love watching these videos but find them infinitely tragic such beautiful buildings lost I live in the north west of Ireland and ther are two abandoned farms on my road and an abandoned church, great to see someone documenting these stunning places with such respect before they are completely lost

[@chloeswift652]

im an irish explorer .loving these videos..

[@bogavai]

Great job guys.I'm a bit behind watching your videos due to work and family issues but I enjoyed every single one.The stairs at 5:09 and other features are identical to one derelict Magdalene building in Cork.

[@karenskinner9817]

Yes yes yes Dianne everyday vlogs. 🎉

[@benlambley6423]

Amazing as always you lads do such a good job the music always really goes well to.

[@Urbandoned]

Thank you for the support - we spend a solid amount of time carefully picking songs to match the ambience of the exploration, so it is nice to know they work

[@lizstevenson7801]

Grand old building, so sad it's been left to rot away. Congrats to you, your explores are always beautifully presented. 🇦🇺

[@Urbandoned]

Thank you very much, it is tragic that it's been neglected to the point of collapses

[@jesswright8279]

I can’t believe you walked over some of those seriously dodgy floors! The chapel was lovely. And stunning view of the banisters up to the skylight. Was thinking after what you’ve shown us it’s a very positive thing when you see some old buildings being used as bars or restaurants. Doesn’t matter what they are being used for as long as they are being used and people get to see them and a little bit more history is retained instead of yet another cheap new structure

[@patriciarussell756]

Incredible!

[@optical_ideas]

wow, this place is amazing. sad but beautiful decay

[@Urbandoned]

It was sad to walk through such a beautiful building in such a sorry state

[@sparky2029]

good video and well done on the milestone!

[@Urbandoned]

Thanks :)

[@Chrisss2112]

Bravo boys! Great video 👍😊

[@Urbandoned]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@tamarahenderson5241]

Love it

[@michailokeefeMooMoo]

Great vide guy some great rooms

[@Urbandoned]

It's a special building!

[@AbandonedMisadventures]

We filmed our first ever KZbin video here... It was in better condition and had lot's of stuff left in it, please on your Irish trip try to keep the name's and other detail's quiet as this can bring unwanted attention to these place's. The person who bought this house tried to repair the roof but with the OPW here in Ireland they will not let you repair the roof any other way than the original which would cost way too much. I believe the owner had already started to put a new roof on and was made to stop. Here is the result!

[@magorzatabochenek8612]

It's so pity! I understand the regulations and laws because in Poland we have the same type, you can't use anything than the most historically accurate materials and due to that many places are rooting. I do get the idea behind the law but I wonder if we ever get to the consciousness that it won't save those places!

[@jamesgallagher4655]

Bureaucracy in all it`s glory.

[@philiptownsend4026]

I understand both sides of the debate but if authentic restoration is too expensive then there can be no restoration and eventually everything is lost. But is modern materials are used then some of the original character and authenticity is lost but it allows SOMETHING to be preserved for posterity. This seems to be an inflexible and short sighted policy which achieves the opposite of what is intended.

[@yermanoffthetelly]

​@@philiptownsend4026Indeed, there should be a sensible amount of flexibility. So many buildings have been and will be lost because of such a position. Unscrupulous developers have also taken to burning out buildings so that they no longer have to adhere to conservation measures. Better to save some of the original features and document what can't be saved than lose them all.

[@malakai713]

its urbandoned, and proper people for me. grats on the 50k, y'all should be as big as tpp. hope to see y'all travel and do even more, i really appreciate the straightforward, honest, non-sensationalized approach.

[@Urbandoned]

Much appreciated, the non-sensualised approach is definitely what we aim to create. To hold us closely to The Proper People whose content we admire and enjoy so often means a great deal to us, thank you!

[@philiptownsend4026]

And I enjoy the absence of ghost hunting and paranormal investigations.

[@gerrymulroy2545]

Not too far from where I live . Couldn't believe the state of it .

[@pusheroza]

floor at 5:30 doesnt exist anymore, and the staircase has decayed to the point that it would be a suicide to try get up, site is under some kind of redevelopment, been there 2 days ago, peace guys love the vids, keep it up ! :D

[@LeeHoMusic]

did you manage to go down to the basement? I was exploring it on my own but wasn't brave enough to visit the basement..... walked the stairs down halfway and felt too much tension in the air and decided to turn back

[@seanroche2358]

Certainly hope developers watch your videos,so some of these places can be delt with

[@Urbandoned]

It has happened before so it's always a possibility

[@fonziebulldog5786]

Once a nice building but today sadly beyond repair.

[@sisterheid5586]

It was very nice but dangerous

[@MarianTHickey]

Where is this? I’m in Ireland, I’d love to go and see it.

[@Urbandoned]

We don't usually disclose locations on here, sorry

[@MrMgegan]

9:21 into the video read the sheet for the address!

[@jimking3288]

I'd be interested to know how many homeless people are in that area that could have been housed there if it had been taken over and re-purposed while it was still salvageable at reasonable cost and if it is a rural area with very few homeless if people from other mire populated areas would have moved there to escape homelessness or bad domestic situations even on a temporary stay basis until they can sort their situations out ?

[@notwhereyouthink]

It was never salvageable. The roof had already collapsed after it was purchased and so much water had got into the building the integrity of the flooring and walls were compromised making it a death-trap.

[@mikefarrell617]

where is it? I d like to go

[@carolinehoward180]

Fantastic video and location. I bet there was some awful abuse that went on there in all of it’s various uses. Best it does rot away.

[@Urbandoned]

We're happy that you liked the feature

[@philiptownsend4026]

Yes. Run by kafliks so must have happened.

[@itzpeak249]

Where is it ?

[@juxterposition777]

At 7:27 I'm quite sure you caught a ghost. As you exit the room and pan out to the hallway you can see a dark figure move to the left into the dark corner. I've watched it in slow Mo a few times I'm quite sure of it.

[@NickName-ms3zc]

That's Jim the ghost. He lives there.

[@andy3127]

Bet those walls could tell some stories, probably a lot of them that would end up with people in jail. Abuse was rife in places like this by so called religious people, who will end up going straight to hell (if you believe in all that).

[@philiptownsend4026]

Indeed. They say the believe in heaven and hell yet they behave in a way that ensures they go to the the bad place. Can't fathom that. So pleased I saw through religion as a teenager and more than 50 years later still know I was right back then.

[@gavinsimon4187]

Reall enjoyed boys,shame its got to that sate,enough money would sort it out,wat a waste of a grand building.

[@Urbandoned]

It's a massive shame, thanks for the nice message

[@wfl6887]

The Catholic Church can afford to let buildings fall apart.
