Cathedral of St. Eunan and St. Columba, Catholic cathedral in Letterkenny, Ireland.
The Cathedral of St. Eunan and St. Columba is a Catholic church in Letterkenny, County Donegal, built in Victorian style. The structure features brick walls, a prominent spire, and an interior divided into sections with altar, seating, and decorated windows.
The cathedral was commissioned in the late 1800s and completed in the early 1900s. Its construction involved the local community in transporting materials used to build the structure.
Stained glass windows from Munich artisans fill the interior with colored light and depict scenes from religious texts. These works shape how visitors experience the space as they move through the cathedral.
The cathedral is accessible from the main street of Letterkenny and open for visitors to view the interior. Those arriving during services may find some areas reserved for worshippers.
Marble details in the interior, including the pulpit area, were created by craftspeople who also worked on other major Irish buildings. This connection reveals how the site was part of a broader network of significant construction projects across Ireland.
