    The Cathedral of St. Mary and St. Anne, locally known as the North Cathedral, is a neo-Gothic masterpiece that dominates the skyline of the historic Shandon district. Built in 1799 on the foundations of an older church, this religious beacon forms a beautiful contrast of red sandstone and white limestone. Inside, you can admire the 27 refined wooden statues by the famous sculptor John Hogan and the impressive neo-Gothic ceiling. It is considered a reward for the climb here.

    Designed in early Neo-Gothic Revivalist style, the building combines sandstone with limestone dressings. The tower over the main door was added in 1869, designed by John Benson.[7]

    The original altar was fashioned in wood by Italian craftsmen in Lisbon.[2] In 1821, John Hogan carved twenty-seven statues in wood for the reredos behind the high altar.[12]

    The bells were cast in 1870 by John Murphy of Dublin, and were originally hung for change-ringing, however they are now considered 'unringable'.[13]

    The modern sanctuary of 1996 was designed by architect Richard Hurley, and is finished in white limestone.[14]
