John's Lane Church, Gothic Revival church in Thomas Street, Dublin, Ireland
The red sandstone and granite building features a 223-foot chisel-shaped spire, making it the tallest church spire in Dublin's cityscape.
The church, built between 1862 and 1874 by architects Edward Welby Pugin and George Ashlin, stands on the site of a medieval St. John's Hospital from 1180.
Inside the church, twelve statues of apostles by James Pearse and stained glass windows from Mayer of Munich enhance the French-style interior with red Cork marble columns.
The church holds regular masses Monday through Friday at 11:00 AM and 1:05 PM, with weekend services on Saturday at 6:00 PM and Sunday at 8:30 AM and 11:30 AM.
The church earned the name 'The Fenian Church' as many construction workers and a foreman were connected to the Fenian movement during its 33-year construction period.
