Loyola Hall, Grade II listed religious center in Rainhill, England
The symmetrical Regency mansion features elegant proportions with a central entrance, large windows, and classical architectural elements throughout its facade.
Built in 1824 as Rainhill Hall for the Bretherton family, the property was acquired by the Society of Jesus in 1923 and renamed Loyola Hall.
The center provided extensive spiritual training programs based on Ignatian methods, hosting over 2000 retreatants annually by the late 1920s.
Located on Warrington Road next to St Bartholomew's Church, the building received new facilities in the 1960s, including fifty additional rooms and a chapel.
During the 1966 FIFA World Cup, the North Korean national football team stayed at Loyola Hall, where they encountered unfamiliar religious decorations.
