St. Peter's Church, Laragh, Co.Monaghan., Tin tabernacle church in Laragh, Ireland.
The corrugated iron and timber structure of St. Peter's Church stands among the rolling hills of County Monaghan, featuring a three-stage ornate spire.
Built in 1890 by James McKean for Catholic mill workers, the church served as a religious center until its deconsecration in 1962.
The church represents a fusion of Swiss-Gothic architecture within the Irish landscape, influenced by continental European religious building designs.
The Laragh Heritage Group maintains the building, which reopened to visitors in 2014 following extensive restoration work.
The mill river was specifically redirected to create the foundation site for this metal church, demonstrating extraordinary engineering considerations.
