Holy Trinity Church
Also known as Christ Church
Cork, County Cork, Ireland
The original building that stood in place of the present church is said to date back to 1050. It is speculated to have been Viking in origin (Hiberno-Norse) and possibly the first church built in Cork.
The present building was constructed in 1720 to a design by architect John Coltsman. By the 1820s, the building had fallen into disrepair and a competition was held to find an architect. This was won by George Pain who removed the tower and steeple, remodelled the west front and made internal alterations. The chancel and apse were added about 1878 by William H. Hill.
Christ Church closed in 1978 and is now part of the Triskel Arts Centre.
