Church of St Nicholas of Myra Without, Dublin, Greek Revival church in Francis Street, Dublin, Ireland.

The Church of St Nicholas of Myra Without is a church building in Dublin with a copper dome, a columned entrance, and a triangular pediment that define its exterior shape. The interior contains religious artwork and decorative glass windows throughout the space.

A 12th-century wooden chapel stood on this site before the Franciscans arrived in Ireland in 1233; their stone church and monastery, funded by John le Porter's land and 50 marks from Henry III, was dedicated to St Francis of Assisi and destroyed under Henry VIII in the 1540s. Archbishop Patrick Russell had John Leeson design the present church as the metropolitan church for Irish Catholic archbishops; it was begun in 1829, opened in 1834 and dedicated in 1835, one of Dublin's first churches built after Catholic emancipation. Patrick Byrne added the Ionic portico, pediment, bell tower and cupola in 1860.

The church holds a Pietà by sculptor John Hogan and a stained-glass window of the Marriage of the Virgin by Harry Clarke. The parish is dedicated to Saint Nicholas, Archbishop of Myra in Lycia, whose feast is kept on 6 December.

The best way to see the interior is to visit during weekly services or other times set aside for prayer and worship. Keep in mind that access may be limited to these times, so it makes sense to contact ahead if you want to walk around inside.

Three statues stood on the pediment, not the roof: Our Lady, Saint Patrick and Saint Nicholas. At the feet of Saint Nicholas were three golden balls for charity and an anchor for hope. The figures are gone, but the pediment they crowned still faces Francis Street.
