C. N.ST AENGUS CHURCH, BURT, CO. DONEGAL, IRELAND.
THIS STUNNING AND TIMELESS CHURCH LOCATED IN BURT, CO. DONEGAL WAS DESIGNED BY LOCAL AWARD WINNING ARCHITECTS FRANK CORR AND LIAM MCCORMICK. IT IS REGARDED AS A MASTERPIECE OF DESIGN AND WAS AWARDED ‘BUILDING OF THE CENTURY’ BY A NATIONAL POLL. THE CHURCH TAKES IT’S PAGAN INSPIRATION FROM THE NEARBY GRAINAN OF AILEACH RINGFORT WHICH IS LOCATED ON THE NEARBY HILLTOP. THIS AREA HAS ALSO HAD SOME FORM OF RELIGIOUS TEMPLE SINCE THE BRONZE AGE. IT WAS BUILT IN A CIRCULAR SHAPE AS A REFERENCE TO THE ‘CIRCLE OF LIFE’ TO GIVE THE CONGREGATION A FEELING OF ALL INCLUSIVENESS AND EQUALITY. SOME OF THE UNIQUE FEATURES OF THE CHURCH INCLUDE AN OFF CENTRE ROOF LIGHT ABOVE THE ALTAR, A BEAUTIFULLY CURVED PLASTERED CEILING AND STUNNING STAINED GLASS WINDOWS DESIGNED BY HELEN MALONEY IN THE CUBIST STYLE. THE STONES USED ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CHURCH ARE ‘RECYCLED’ COBBLESTONES SALVAGED FROM THE DERRY DOCKS.
