Historic Churches & Cathedrals

Derry’s skyline is defined by the spires of its historic religious sites, spanning centuries of architectural evolution and denominational history. From the 17th-century Planter Gothic style of Saint Columb’s Cathedral—the first post-Reformation cathedral built in the British Isles—to the 19th-century Neo-Gothic grandeur of Saint Eugene’s, these sites offer insight into the region's complex past. The list also includes notable parish churches and unique mid-century modern designs, such as the award-winning circular St Aengus’s Church in Burt.
