About this experience

Churches in Inishbofin Village are a set of historic Christian sites on Inishbofin island, off the Connemara coast. The village's churches include the 19th-century St. Colman's Church and the ruins of a 14th-century Franciscan friary. These buildings offer a quiet look at the island's religious and community heritage.

What to expect

  • Visit St. Colman's Church, a stone-built Church of Ireland structure from 1828, with its simple interior and adjacent graveyard.
  • Explore the roofless remains of the 14th-century Franciscan friary, including its east window and carved stone fragments.
  • Walk between the churches on the village's narrow lanes, a route of about 500 metres that takes 10–15 minutes.
  • See the 19th-century Catholic church, built in 1890, which holds a wooden altar and stained-glass windows depicting local saints.
  • Suitable for history enthusiasts and walkers; the sites are open year-round during daylight hours, with no admission fee.
