St. John the Baptist, Blackrock, Gothic Revival church building in Blackrock, Ireland.
The stone walls of St. John the Baptist church feature pointed arches, ornate stonework, and stained glass windows characteristic of Gothic Revival design.
Patrick Byrne designed this church during the 19th century when Gothic Revival architecture gained popularity as a response to neoclassical movements in Ireland.
The stained glass windows inside the church portray biblical narratives and saints, reflecting the religious traditions of County Dublin's Catholic community.
Regular mass services occur in this active parish church, which maintains its original architectural elements while accommodating modern worship needs.
Local materials from Dublin quarries were incorporated into the church's construction, creating a connection between the building and its geographical location.
