Muckross Abbey, founded in 1448 as a monastery for the Franciscan friars, is today in a state of ruin. Looted several times in its history, the monastery was finally burnt down by Oliver Cromwell's troops in 1652. Today, the abbey, although it has no roof on most of it, is relatively well preserved. One of its curiosities is its vaulted cloister, in the Norman Romano-Gothic style, organised around an inner courtyard which houses a large yew tree several hundred years old, as in the abbey of Jumièges.

Christ the King Cathedral in Mullingar, was designed from 1920 onwards, to replace the Immaculate Conception Cathedral (1836 - 1936). William Byrne & Sons of Dublin designed the building as a renaissance style basilica. Construction took place from 1933 to 1936.

St. Paul's Cathedral was built between 1225 and 1264, a period of transition in the history of architecture between Romanesque and Gothic art. The cathedral was largely destroyed during the Second World War. The astronomical clock, as well as the series of apostles, epitaphs, altars and choir chapels miraculously escaped destruction. After the war, the cathedral was rebuilt identically.

The Münster was first built in 1064 as the Romanesque basilica of the Kloster Allerheiligen, then owned by the Benedictines. After centuries of economic and political decline, Michael Eggendorfer, the last abbot of the monastery, initiated the last renovations in 1521-22. During the Swiss Reformation, the abbey was abolished and the Münster became the second main church in the town in 1524.
