Appraisal
This simple chapel has some architectural features of merit, such as raised gable ends, mosaic plaques, rose window with hoodmoulding and pointed-arched window openings. The chapel has been a place of worship for the Sisters of La Sainte Union Convent since its construction in 1836 and, along with the adjacent convent building, forming a significant religious complex within Banagher.
