St Michael's Church, Ballinasloe, Gothic Revival church building in Ballinasloe, Ireland.
St Michael's Church is a limestone structure built in the Gothic Revival style with pointed arches and ribbed vaults. The upper gable features a triple lancet window that allows light to penetrate the interior space.
The church was built following delays during the famine and later consecrated by a senior church official. Its completion came during a period when Ireland was recovering from a major crisis.
The windows display work by artist Harry Clarke, known for his detailed glass paintings. Visitors can notice the depictions of saints glowing in the colored glass panels.
The church is centrally located in Ballinasloe and easily accessible. Visitors should note that access is available during service times and the building may be closed between masses.
The building stands out for its octagonal corner pinnacles that make it the tallest structure in town. These architectural features give Ballinasloe's skyline a distinctive accent point.
