Construction of St. Mary's Cathedral began in 1842 but did not continue continuously. The great famine and the lack of available funds meant that work was stopped several times. In 1855 the building was ready for regular church services. The tower and nave were completed separately in 1907.
The width of the nave was based on medieval models that could be found throughout Ireland and England. The west end has a very Irish character, with three tall pointed arched windows and a very low entrance door below. The stonework used is an attractive mix of brown and gray stone.
