Whitefriar Street Church

Lokaler Name: Whitefriar Street Church

The Carmelite Church on Whitefriars Street in Dublin is a neoclassical three-nave structure hidden behind the street. The entrance to it leads through other buildings and is surrounded by a two-story portico. There is a chapel in the church with the relics of Saint Valentine.

The first Carmelite Church was built in Dublin in the 13th century. The present temple is from the beginning of the 19th century. It was designed by George Papworth, who also took part in the work on the St. Mary's procuration. The entrance to the church is covered with residential buildings. Its body can only be seen from the side of Whitefriars Street.

It is a three-nave basilica with an elongated body and a straight closed chancel. The interior is spacious, divided into aisles with columns. The main altar is under a dome canopy. In the side chapels there are relics of Saint Valentine donated to the church in the 19th century by Pope Gregory XVI and a 16th century figure of the Virgin Mary considered the protector of Dublin.
