Christ Church

Christ Church

Located on the Mall, the church was completed in 1739 and renovated between 1800 and 1828. This is one of the most important historical monuments in the town. The plaque just inside the main gate is the only contemporary record extant of the 1798 period. The church's interior is an excellent record of Castlebar from 1590 to 1914. The photo below shows it lit up at night and it provides a very attractive focal point at the corner of the mall.

Christ Church by Night

At present there is an active fund raising programme to help to restore the roof of the church.
