St Mary's Cathedral, Killarney, Catholic cathedral in Killarney, Ireland.

The cathedral exhibits Gothic Revival design with triple lancet windows, brown and gray stone masonry, and a low entrance door at its west end.

Construction started in 1842 under architect Augustus Pugin, faced delays during the Great Famine, and reached completion for regular worship in 1855.

The cathedral's interior features were modified in 1973 when Bishop Eamonn Casey directed the removal of Victorian plasterwork and original altar elements.

The cathedral stands on large grounds away from Killarney's center, with east and west walls containing slender triple lancets inspired by Ardfert Cathedral.

The interior decoration, designed by James Joseph McCarthy, incorporates Tasmanian oak elements in the altar, pulpit, throne, and chairs.
