St. Patrick's Church is set in its own grounds in a peaceful location. It is of a good architectural design which is articulated by many decorative features including buttresses, corbels and stained glass windows. Constructed of local sandstone from the former Killea quarry, the church is a pleasant example of mid-nineteenth-century Gothic Revival church architecture. Unusually, the altar is located at the south end.
