Current
Location
The
new 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 hall was laid on June 10th, 1999
at a ceremony that was attended by representatives from Government,
Local Government and the Clergy.
