The parish church of Mullahoran and Loughduff was designed by the successful Dublin architect Thomas McNamara (1867-1947) and replaces an earlier church that stood in an extant graveyard roughly 100m to the south-west. It is a well-executed church reflecting McNamara's interest in Hispano-Romanesque architecture, displaying handsome ornamental features such as hood mouldings, original stained glass windows, pink granite columns, external cornices and colonettes, down to minute detail as seen in the decorative downpipe brackets. The building and its site are of key importance to the religious and social heritage of the local Catholic community located alongside the earlier parochial house and incorporating earlier gravestones. Set in an entirely rural location the church forms an impressive presence in the countryside.
