Jerpoint Abbey is a former Benedictine abbey, founded in the 1160s. In 1540 Jerpoint, like all British abbeys, was closed when the monasteries were dissolved. Jerpoint was then one of the wealthiest Cistercian abbeys in Ireland, but comparable in size to the smaller Cistercian establishments in England. Thanks to the passive attitude of the owners after the dissolution, the monastery was in a relatively good state of preservation until the 19th century. Jerpoint Abbey is notable for its 15th century stone carvings of animals, plants and figures. The best-preserved part of the building is the east wing.

The Jesuit Church of St. Ignatius and Franz Xaver was built between 1738 and 1760 and designed by Baroque architects such as Alessandro Galli da Bibiena, Franz Wilhelm Rabaliatti and Nicolas de Pigage. In 1773, Pope Clement XIV abolished the Jesuit order and the Jesuit church officially became the Church of the Great Court. However, as early as 1778, the church was given to the Lazarists, who themselves had to leave the church in 1794. In 1802, the Jesuit church in Mannheim became the parish church of the city. After the Second World War, the church had to be extensively restored due to bombing.
