Collegiate Church of St Mary, Youghal, Anglican church in Youghal, Ireland.

The stone church exhibits medieval architectural elements including a 13th-century oak roof structure, 14th-century tower, and 15th-century nave extending across multiple sections.

The church foundations date back to 1220 when Meiler de Bermingham constructed the initial structure, which later received collegiate status in 1464 by Thomas FitzGerald.

The interior contains 15th-century choir stalls with detailed carvings, the tomb of Richard Boyle, and an alabaster monument commemorating Sir Walter Raleigh.

The church opens Monday through Saturday from 11 AM to 4 PM and Sunday from 1 PM to 4 PM, with entrance fees of €5 for adults.

Medieval builders installed ceramic acoustic jars within the church walls, an early attempt at sound enhancement technology for religious services.
