Holy Trinity was designed in a simple English Gothic Revival, or Regency Gothic, architectural style.[2] Pain was a strong proponent of this style over High Victorian Gothic, which was favoured by his rivals, the Deanes, although he also worked in Classical architecture.[43] He made extensive use of arched windows, flying buttresses and columns, culminating in a tapering "lacy Gothic spire, seemingly more air than stone."[3] At the time of its completion, the church was described by the Cork Examiner as "a worthy memorial of its renowned patron ... The whole design is exceedingly graceful."[24] Pain's plan would have brought the church to a height of 182 feet (55 m), but the building as realised only reaches 160 feet (49 m).[44] Cast-iron was used extensively to achieve the spaciousness of the church interior. Curtin-Kelly suggests this was because of the poor, marshy foundations, which would have prohibited heavier, stone columns.

This church is home to an active monastery of Capuchin Franciscans. Therefore, be mindful of times for religious service when visiting.

The architect was George Pain in 1825. The stained glass is by Harry Clarke.
