St Brendan’s Church in Bantry, County Cork, Ireland, is a significant religious building with roots extending back to the mid-19th century. Constructed between 1842 and 1845 to designs by architect James Shiel, it was built following the demolition of an earlier church on the site. The church is noted for its Gothic Revival style architecture, featuring pointed arches, stained glass windows and a prominent bell tower. It serves as the parish church for Bantry Roman Catholic parish within the Diocese of Cork and Ross. The building has undergone restoration work over time to preserve its architectural integrity and remains an active place of worship and a landmark within the town of Bantry.
