OUR LADY OF DOLOURS CATHOLIC CHURCH LOCATED ACROSS THE ROAD FROM THE BOTANIC GARDENS

This unusual church is situated beside the Tolka River at the junction of Glasnevin Hill and Botanic Avenue which is near the entrance to the Botanic Gardens.

Glasnevin is also a parish in the Fingal South West deanery of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Dublin. It is served by the Church of Lady of Dolours.

The church underwent some refurbishment work inside and in its grounds and car park during the first half of 2011. A timber church, which originally stood on Berkeley Road, was moved to a riverside site on Botanic Avenue early in the twentieth century. The altar in this church was from Newgate prison in Dublin. It served as the parish church until it was replaced, in 1972, by a structure resembling a pyramid when viewed from Botanic Avenue. The previous church was known locally as “The Woodener” or “The Wooden” and the new building is still known to older residents as “The new Woodener” or “The Wigwam”.
