St Ailbe's Church, Gothic Revival church in Emly, Ireland
The limestone and ashlar church features triangular-headed windows, pitched slate roofs with overhanging eaves, and a timber eaves course with crucifix finials.
The church was constructed between 1880 and 1882, replacing a previous structure from 1809, and stands as a testament to late 19th-century ecclesiastical architecture.
The church honors Saint Ailbe, who established the monastery and diocese of Emly as an important religious center in the Munster region.
Located on Main Street in Emly, the church maintains regular services as part of the Archdiocese of Cashel and Emly.
The entrance displays a medieval sandstone font, while the adjacent graveyard contains St Ailbe's Cross, believed to mark the saint's burial location.
