St. Anne’s Church is a member of the Church of Ireland which belongs to the world wide Anglican (Episcopal) Communion. We are one of 24 parishes in the United Diocese of Cork Cloyne and Ross.
St. Anne’s is the oldest church still in continuous use in Cork City with weekly church services and an active worshipping congregation since 1722! St. Anne’s has been described as “the most important ecclesiastical structure of any period, within the the city of Cork and its immediate environs, it is also one of the most important early 18th century churches in Ireland and one of a small number which still retains their original 18th century bells” – (2001 Architectural & Archaeological Appraisal – Colin Rynne for Southgate & Assoc.).
The historic church and tower, with its famous Bells of Shandon, offer an interesting and memorable experience for young and old alike! We invite you to join us in worship or come by for a self-guided tour. See the beauty and history of one of Cork’s most iconic landmarks!
St Anne’s Church is a historic church with a worshiping congregation for over 300 years in the heart of Cork City. When you come to visit the church some of the things you can do include playing the famous Shandon Bells, seeing the inner workings of the four faced liar clock, and climbing the tower to see the 360 degree views of Cork.
St Anne’s Church offers a variety of services and events throughout the year, catering to both spiritual and community needs. The church hosts special events to mark significant occasions in the Christian calendar, such as Christmas, Easter, Pentecost and Harvest Festival.
