The present Catholic Church of the Immaculate Conception in Walsh Island is supposedly built on the site of an earlier church and is one of the oldest buildings in Walsh Island. It is located centrally in the small village and is very much a community building with an important social function. The church was renovated in the 1970s and the confessionals and balcony were removed and the new entrance porch added.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
