St. Aengus Church

St. Aengus Church

The iconic St. Aengus Church in Burt was designed by local award winning architects Frank Corr and Liam McCormick and its design was inspired by the Grianan of Aileach fort on the top of the mountain behind the church.

A few years after its completion in 1971 it won the prestigious RIAI Triennial Gold Medal. In the late 1990s, the church was named Ireland’s ‘Building of the Century’ and its original design is a marvel to behold.
