Fore Abbey (Irish: Mainistir Fhobhair) is the ruin of a Benedictine Abbey, situated to the north of Lough Lene in County Westmeath, near Fore village. The abbey was founded by Saint Feichin in 630 CE and functioned for over 900 years. By 665 CE (the time of the yellow plague), the abbey is believed to have housed up to 300 Benedictine monks from Normandy and 2000 students. Architectural additions and damage by fire have altered the site's appearance and layout over the centuries.

  • Opactwo benedyktyńskie w Fore (irl. Mainistir Fhobhair) – wczesnoceltyckie opactwo (obecnie w ruinie) położone w wiosce Fore (około 25 km od Mullingar w kierunku Castlepollard) na północ od jeziora w hrabstwie Westmeath w Irlandii. Pierwszy klasztor w Fore został założony ok. 630 przez św. Fechina. W czasach największego rozkwitu zamieszkiwany był przez około 300 mnichów benedyktyńskich związanych ze wspólnotą z Évreux w Normandii. Struktura wewnętrznej części opactwa przypomina zastosowaną w Mont Saint-Michel. (pl)
