This week saw the election of a new Pope – Leo XIV.
Whether you’re religious or not, it’s hard to deny the influence of churches in Ireland, with one in almost every town and village across this great land.
While for many people they are places of worship to visit on a Sunday or for special occasions such as weddings and baptisms, many older churches have been re-worked into living or commercial spaces and given a new lease of life.
With that in mind, we’ve decided to take a look at five of the best former churches and chapels currently on the market on MyHome. While the exteriors stand out, some of the interiors of these fabulous former churches are pretty impressive also. Check them out below…
