Newry Cathedral, also called St. Patrick's Cathedral, is located in the city of the same name. The city of Newry, where this building stands, once had the good fortune to become the residence of a man named Patrick. This man was a missionary and it was he who brought the Catholic faith to Ireland. Today, various statues and sculptures of the saint can be seen throughout the country. In addition, there is St. Patrick's Day in Ireland.

The cathedral was built at the dawn of the Christian era. To be precise, it was not quite a cathedral in today's sense of the word. He was not as dignified as he is today, and was more ascetic than rich. In the Middle Ages, the old building was hopelessly destroyed and was soon restored. It was then that he acquired its forms and luxury, at the same time being a strict structure for religious purposes. This building in the Gothic style can be seen immediately, it contrasts sharply with the rest of the buildings in the city.

Officially, the construction of the new cathedral dates back to the 19th century. And its reconstruction belongs to the 20th century. The religious building was significantly expanded and decorated so that now it is the pride of the entire city. The inside of the temple is also magnificent. The altar and nave of the temple are among the most beautiful in Ireland. If you look at the appearance of the cathedral, it seems that this is a fortress that is about to ascend up to heaven.
