Holy Trinity Church, Cork

Holy Trinity Church, Cork

The Holy Trinity Friary and Church in Cork is a Roman Catholic Gothic Revival church located on Fr. Mathew Quay on the bank of the River Lee. It is affiliated with the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin.

According to Cultural Heritage Ireland [Ref 2], the church is commonly known as "Christ Church." Replacing a medieval parish church noted in 1594, it was designed by John Coltsman, completed by 1725, and extensively altered and remodelled in the 19th century. The structure serves as a cultural and artistic center, now managed by the Triskel Arts Centre.
