St. Crumnathy's Cathedral, Achonry

The cathedral features a three-bay nave with an engaged three-stage tower and an octagonal spire, constructed between 1820 and 1825.

The structure was rebuilt in 1823 for £1066 with support from the Board of First Fruits and served as a joint cathedral for Killala and Achonry.

The building incorporates traditional ecclesiastical elements with pointed-arch windows, limestone dressings, and Y-tracery timber windows with cusped heads.

The cathedral, situated within a grass churchyard enclosed by rubble stone walls, was deconsecrated in 1998 and remains closed to regular visits.

The cathedral stands on the location of a former monastic settlement and contains an 1822 datestone positioned above the entrance on the tower's south face.
