St Fachtna's Cathedral is the Anglican cathedral of Rosscarbery. It is dedicated to St Fachtna († ~600), founder of the monastery of Rosscarbery, known for his school of scripture study. The church was the seat of the diocese of Ross, established in 1160 and merged with Cork in 1583.
St. Patrick's Cathedral or simply Skibbereen Cathedral is the Catholic cathedral of Skibbereen. The church, designed by the architect Michael Augustine O'Riordan, was built between 1826 and 1830 in the neo-classical style.
St. Finbarr's Cathedral is an Irish Anglican cathedral built between 1865 and 1879. The three spires of the cathedral are one of the symbols of Cork. It is named after St. Finbarr, the patron saint of the city. The present cathedral is at least the third on this site: a medieval cathedral existed but was damaged during the Siege of Cork in 1689-1690, and a small neoclassical cathedral was built on the site by Bishop Peter Browne in 1735. It was demolished in 1865 to make way for the present cathedral.
St Nicholas Church is a former Anglican church built in the 1850s. It was designed in the Gothic Revival style by Welland, with a bell tower by Atkins and transept windows by Hemmings. It was deconsecrated and its internal equipment emptied in the early 1990s.
