St Brendan's Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Loughrea, Ireland.
The limestone walls and slate roofs of St Brendan's Cathedral form a cruciform structure with a square tower at the southwestern corner.
The cathedral construction began in 1897 under architect William Byrne's direction and reached completion in 1903, marking a new era for the Diocese of Clonfert.
The cathedral exhibits twenty-four embroidered banners depicting Irish saints, along with vestments crafted by the skilled artisans of Dun Emer Guild.
Located on Barrack Street, the cathedral maintains regular mass schedules throughout the week, with services held during morning and evening hours.
The cathedral houses Ireland's first complete collection of Irish-made stained glass windows, created by the renowned An Túr Gloine studio.
