Saint Malachy's Church, Belfast
Saint Malachy's Church, Belfast, Catholic church building in central Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Saint Malachy's Church exhibits Tudor Revival architecture with an ornate ceiling featuring detailed fan vaulting patterns similar to Westminster Abbey's Henry VII Chapel.
The church opened its doors in 1844 after three years of construction, initially planned as the cathedral for the Diocese of Down and Connor.
The structure stands as the longest continuously operating Catholic church in Belfast, serving generations of local worshippers through significant periods of change.
Visitors can attend services at various times, including daily Mass at 1:00 PM on weekdays and Sunday morning Mass at 10:30 AM.
The building contains Belfast's largest bell, which required felt wrapping due to its effects on whiskey production at nearby distilleries.
