Church of the Assumption, Roman Catholic church in Howth, Ireland
The Church of the Assumption stands at the junction of Thormanby Road and Main Street, featuring a double-pitched slate roof with decorative terracotta ridge tiles.
Built in 1899 under architect W.H. Byrne's direction, the church remains incomplete as the planned spire was never constructed due to financial constraints.
The granite structure incorporates traditional Irish elements, including early stone crosses and gargoyles, representing local architectural heritage and religious practices.
The central location of the church makes it easily accessible, with regular mass schedules and parish events posted on their official website.
Four distinctive gargoyles mark each corner of the offset tower, which stands against a straightforward nave with two short transepts.
