Tristernagh Abbey, also known as the "Priory of Kilbixy", is a ruined Augustinian priory, situated on the shores of Lough Iron about north east of Ballynacargy in County Westmeath, Ireland. The abbey was founded in 1192 by Geoffrey de Constantine and was dedicated to Mary.
An Anglo-Norman ally of Strongbow, Robert de Rosel, was granted Balrothery in c. 1171 "where he built the town and castle". The name derives from the Irish "Baile an Ridire", "the knight's town." His son Patrick became the parson of the church in Balrothery, and after his death Geoffrey de Costedin donated lands at Balrothery to Tristernagh Abbey, Kilbixy between 1191 and 1212.
The village primarily owes its existence to the Royal Canal which opened in 1817. The origins of the village go back much further. The first recorded reference to it dates from 1537 after the dissolution of the nearby monastery at Tristernagh Abbey. Attached to the monastery was a leper hospital, a rarity by that time. It is thought that the village initially grew with the decline of "Kilbixy", an important town in County Meath 500 years ago.
Northeast of the village are the ruins of "Templecross Church" from where the ruins of "Tristernagh Abbey" are visible. Templecross was converted to a Protestant church in the 17th century. The abbey, also known as the "Priory of Kilbixy" was founded in 1192 by "Geoffrey de Constantine". An Augustinian priory, the abbey achieved some fame from its establishment until 1536 when the commissioners of the English King Henry VIII ransacked and destroyed it.
The abbey was ransacked by the commissioners of King Henry VIII in 1536 and closed down; its land was subsequently granted to William Piers by Elizabeth I. There was formerly a tradition in Kilbixy parish that at the time of the Reformation the Friars had removed the Abbey bells and thrown them into Lough Iron. According to a memorial inscription in the ruined church of Templecross nearby, the Abbey was repaired by William Piers' son Henry Piers, who converted to Catholicism in later life. It is also possible that the monastery was returned to religious use during the Confederate period. The ruins of the abbey were described as still very substantial in 1682 by their then-owner Sir Henry Piers, but were largely pulled down by one of his descendants, Sir Pigott Piers, in 1783 in an act later described, by topographer James Norris Brewer as "an outrage [...] the name of Tristernagh should never be mentioned without an expression of contempt [...] towards that of Sir Pigott William Piers".
