Peek-a-boo view through the ruins of Mellifont Abbey with the stone arches of the octagonal Lavabo in the foreground framing the gateway tower in the distance. Located in County Louth, Ireland, the Cistercian abbey was founded in 1170 and was dissolved by Henry the VIII in 1539. The site is now a National Monument of Ireland and a tourist destination located in the picturesque countryside near the town of Drogheda.
