Newman University Church, Byzantine Revival church near St Stephen's Green, Dublin, Ireland
The Newman University Church features polychromatic brick walls, a Romanesque porch leading to an atrium, and a richly decorated baldacchino over the altar.
Construction of the church began in May 1855 under architect John Hungerford Pollen, and the building was consecrated on May 1, 1856.
The church includes marble and serpentine materials from different regions of Ireland, displaying the integration of local materials in religious architecture.
The University of Notre Dame manages the church since 2016, maintaining regular mass celebrations and operating the Notre Dame-Newman Center for Faith and Reason.
British soldiers established a machine-gun position on the church roof during the 1916 Easter Rising, connecting the building to Irish independence events.
