About

In the vibrant city of Belfast, St. Malachy's Church is a captivating landmark steeped in history and architectural brilliance. Constructed from 1841 to 1844, it stands out with its Tudor Revival style, crafted by architect Thomas Jackson. Unlike the prevalent Gothic designs of its time, the church's architecture offers a unique visual experience that attracts history enthusiasts and architectural admirers alike.

The interior is exceptionally beautiful, featuring an ornate plaster ceiling that mirrors the grandeur of the Henry VII Chapel at Westminster Abbey. This ceiling, often compared to a wedding cake for its elaborate design, is a showstopper that captivates anyone fortunate enough to gaze upon it.

Its tranquil atmosphere makes it an ideal place for quiet reflection and prayer, with visitors frequently commenting on the warm welcome provided by the kind caretaker. Positioned conveniently on Alfred Street, the church is easily accessible and serves as a peaceful sanctuary, merging impressive heritage with an inviting charm.

Exceptionally beautiful, inside and out. I thought it interesting the church and parish did not note itself Catholic.

Intéressante église de Saint-Malachie. Sa prophétie va-t-elle se réaliser et Pierre le Romain va-t-il être élu pape dans les jours qui suivent ???
