Current Location
The
North Munster Masonic Centre in Limerick is now located in the midst of
the tourist and heritage area of the city, directly across the
road from King John’s Castle and the City Museum and beside
the former Bishop's Lady's Palace (now the headquarters of the
City's Civic Trust).
Heritage and history are very much part of the tradition of
Freemasonry which is based on legends that date back to the
time of the construction of King Solomon’s Temple. Of the many
great buildings erected by the masons in the Middle Ages,
attention has focused on the great cathedrals throughout
Europe.
The
Foundation Stone for the new Masonic Centre was laid on June
10th, 1999 at a ceremony that was attended by representatives
from Government, Local Government and the Clergy.
The
official opening, which took place on Friday, September 23rd,
2005, was performed by the then Minister for Defence, Willie O'Dea,
TD. Among those present was the then Grand Master of the
Grand Lodge of Ireland, Eric N Waller and several senior
members of the Order along with a number of interested
visitors.
For
visitors using Satellite Navigation Systems, we are listed on
some units under "Museums" in Limerick. The
exact address is 9 Castle Street, King's Island, Limerick.
