St Patrick, Killycarney, Blacklion, Killinagh, Roman Catholic

The church was completed in 1846 to replace an earlier structure, which survives as a ruin to the south. It was enlarged and remodelled by James Donnelly for Sir Patrick McGovern in 1934. It is located in a prominent position to the west of Blacklion, standing on high ground between two roads which join directly to the east, and presents well composed elevations on both sides. It has a fine interior with an imposing intricately carved gallery and many historic details of good quality. Built during the years of the Great Famine (1845-1850) it is a good example of mid nineteenth-century Roman Catholic church building.
