The church of Saint Patrick at Donaghmoyne. The present church was built on the site of the ruined medieval monastery in 1825-1830. The original church and monastic complex are said to have been founded by Victor (who was appointed bishop by Saint Patrick), had become a parish church by the 13th century, and was in ruins by 1622. Rebuilt in 1641, it fell into ruin again before the modern structure was erected in the 19th century.
