Timoleague Friary, also known as Timoleague Abbey, is a ruined medieval Franciscan friary located in Timoleague, County Cork, Ireland. It is the largest medieval ruin in West Cork.The friary is located on the site of an early Christian church dedicated to St Molaga, whose feast day was celebrated down to the seventeenth-century. Timoleague is one of the few early Franciscan friaries with substantial standing remains in Ireland. Located in a medieval village in County Cork, it stands on the banks of the Argideen River overlooking Courtmacsherry Bay. The cellars are located in the east range and were connected directly to the river via an outbuilding. This would have allowed for the safe delivery of goods such as fish to the friary. The fifteenth century tower was inserted later, and is typical of Franciscan bell-towers. The building contains some unusual wall passages, with tall arches on each side of the choir.
