St Multose Church: A Historical Landmark

St Multose Church is one of Ireland's oldest Church of Ireland establishments, constructed circa 1190 by Normans on the site of an earlier 6th-century church. Did you know that this church has significant maritime connections?

The church's exterior is remarkably preserved, exhibiting Norman architectural influences, while much of the interior has been altered over centuries. A notable feature inside is a flat stone traditionally rubbed by fishermen's wives seeking the safe return of their husbands from sea voyages. The graveyard notably contains graves of several victims from the Lusitania sinking in 1915.
