Killarney Cathedral

The cathedral in Killarney was designed by Augustus Welby Pugin and is renowned for its Gothic proportions. Work commenced in 1842 but stopped between 1848 and 1853 because of the famine, when the building was used as a hospital. The Californian Redwood tree in the grounds was planted after the famine in memory of the children buried underneath. The spire was only added in 1908.
