St. Marys Chapel of Ease, Dublin, Gothic Revival church in Broadstone, Ireland
The exterior walls of St Marys Chapel of Ease are constructed from local calp limestone that turns dark when exposed to rain.
The chapel opened in 1830 on grounds given by Viscount Mountjoy and served as an additional place of worship for those far from St Marys on Mary Street.
James Joyce incorporated the building into his novel Ulysses, mentioning it during the Circe chapter as a location for character Blooms activities.
The structure, which had capacity for 1000 people during religious services, now functions as office space following extensive modernization.
The interior design features exterior walls that curve toward the ceiling, forming a large parabolic vault instead of traditional interior walls.
