Derelict Glendalough Lough Wicklow Skellig
EDITORS COMMENTS
Teampull Na Skellig at Glendalough, County Wicklow, Republic of Ireland - A Journey Back in Time Teampull Na Skellig, or the 'Cell of the Skellig' in Irish, is a beautifully preserved yet derelict building nestled beside the tranquil waters of Glendalough's Lower Lake. This evocative image, captured in the early 1900s, offers a glimpse into the past and the rich history of this monastic site. Located in the picturesque County Wicklow, Glendalough is a popular tourist destination known for its stunning scenery and historic ruins. The monastic city, founded in the 6th century by St. Kevin, is home to numerous well-preserved structures, including round towers, churches, and high crosses. Teampull Na Skellig, however, stands out for its unique charm and solitary beauty. The building, believed to have been a small hermit's cell or a chapel, is surrounded by lush greenery and overlooks the serene waters of the lough. Its weathered stone walls and moss-covered roof tell tales of the passage of time and the enduring power of nature. This photograph, taken over a century ago, invites us to imagine the lives of the monks who once lived and prayed in this secluded spot. It serves as a poignant reminder of the past and the beauty of Ireland's rich heritage. As we admire the image, we are transported back in time, allowing us to appreciate the simple pleasures of a bygone era and the enduring allure of the natural world.
