Situated about one mile outside of the town on the Arva road, St Brigid's Catholic Church was built in 1863. It replaced an earlier church, the ruins of which may still be seen in the adjoining cemetry.
St Brigid's is one of a number of churches in the area designed by the Cavan born architect William Hague Jnr. The original plans for the church included a much taller spire but it was never completed.
Other churches designed by Hague can be seen at Butlersbridge, Killygarry (Cavan) and Templeport Also, St Eunan's Cathedral, Letterkenny.
