Honan Chapel

Built in 1916, and named after the Honan family, the Honan Chapel can be regarded as a gem of Irish ecclesiastical architecture. The exterior is adorned with the architectural style known as 'Hiberno-Romanesque'. The Chapel, dedicated to St Finbarr, is most similar to the 12th century church of St Cronan in Roscrea, Co Tipperary, while its bell-tower on the north wall is inspired by round towers of monastic settlements so common in Ireland from the 9th century onwards.

The Honan Chapel is famous for its mosaic floor (which includes symbols of the zodiac), and its nineteen stain glass windows, crafted by the late Harry Clarke and artists from the Sarah Purser studio.

A visit to the Honan can provide artistic and spiritual satisfaction ? or even those looking for an impressive venue for their wedding inside its hallowed walls.
