This anonymous plan of Mellifont Abbey is a technical drawing, created between 1791 and 1795. Mellifont is a ruined Cistercian abbey located in County Louth, Ireland. The plan is an architectural drawing showing the layout of the building. It is a simple and stark design, but one that reveals key features of the abbey. The drawing is now part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
