Located on an elevated site in a rural setting with the rolling hills of Leitrim as a backdrop to its impressive tower, St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church is a dominant feature in the landscape. Constructed in 1859, the church expresses simplicity of design with the windows being one of the only decorative elements adorning the structure. It forms a group of structures with the presbytery, located to the south.
