Westport House-Church Ruins

The stone ruins stand next to the Carrowbeg River within the grounds of Westport House, marking the location of a former parish church.

The original parish church, constructed in 1797, served the local congregation until 1868 when a new church was built with funds from Marquess of Sligo.

The remnants of this religious structure represent the architectural transition period between late 18th-century Georgian and Victorian ecclesiastical designs in Ireland.

Visitors can access the ruins through the Westport House estate grounds, which maintains regular opening hours and provides guided tours of historical structures.

The church ruins maintain their original stone walls and structural elements, providing insights into 18th-century Irish Protestant church construction methods.
