St. Michan's Catholic Church

St. Michan's Catholic Church is a Catholic Church located on the Northside of Dublin, Ireland. It is the parish church for the Halston Street Parish in the Archdiocese of Dublin.
The church was built between 1810 and 1817. It was constructed before Catholic Emancipation and wasn't allowed an entrance that opened onto a main street. The presence of Green Street Courthouse and Newgate Prison had elevated the importance of Halston Street at the time and so entry to the church was through the less important North Anne Street to the west. In the late nineteenth century, the addition of a tall castellated tower by George Ashlin to the east provided a new entrance from Halston Street. The church contains a number of impressive stained-glass windows by German stained-glass designers and manufacturers, Mayer & Company of Munich as well as a window attributed to Harry Clarke in the Mortuary Chapel.
