St Patrick's Church, Ballymena, Anglican parish church in Castle Street, Ballymena, Northern Ireland
St Patrick's Church stands as a sandstone structure built in Early English architectural style with a capacity to accommodate 800 worshippers.
The original church from 1855 burned down in December 1879, leading to its reconstruction by the same contractor and reopening in March 1881.
The church maintains its position as the principal civic religious building in Ballymena, serving the combined parish of Kirkinriola and Ballyclug.
The building provides accessible facilities with ramp access and designated parking areas, welcoming visitors for regular services and bell-ringing events.
The bell tower contains Northern Ireland's only peal of twelve bells in the key of F-sharp, installed in 1987 after recasting at Whitechapel Foundry.
