St Mary's CathedralCathedral Place, Killarney, IrelandTel: +353 64 31014 Designed by Augutus W. Pugin in English Gothic style, St Mary's Cathedral is regarded as his finest Irish work. It was completed in 1855, strictly adhering to Pugin's exterior and interior designs. During the Famine, construction work stopped for five years while the covered area of the cathedral was used as a fever hospital. In the 1970s the then Bishop of Kerry, Dr. Eamon Casey, spearheaded a refurbishment of the cathedral. While the exterior was restored to its original glory, the interior was modernised with concrete altars and pews replacing the carved wood originals. The Augutus W. Pugin designed furnishings are now on display in the Muckross House Folk Museum. All of the original stained glass windows are intact and are quite beautiful.
