context_page_description: Baltinglass Abbey is a former Cistercian abbey founded in 1148 and located in Baltinglass, Ireland. It is today a National Monument.
context_section_description: The surviving church (56 m in length) and some of the cloister dates from the 12th century, consisting of the nave with aisles, chancel, square presbytery with three-light window and a pair of transepts from which small chapels project. The south aisle of the church is joined to the choir by a twelfth century doorway. Part of the original cloister, to the south of the church, has been rebuilt. The church also has 13th and 15th century additions. The east windows and tower were built in the nineteenth century.
  The stonework at the abbey shows carved human and animals and a combination of Cistercian and Irish Romanesque architecture. The decoration on the capitals is similar to that at its daughter house Jerpoint.
