When in Dingle, be sure to visit An Diseart at St. Mary's Church (across from Dick Mack's pub) to view these stained glass treasures. The color is unusual and spectacular in these windows, especially the greens and purples. The level of detail in the work is intricate and delicious, most notably to me in the depictions of faces, eyes and hands. Harry Clarke captured palpable emotion. The eyes are filled with sorrow and suffering, but are only made more beautiful for the depth within them.
If interested in architecture and stained glass windows then a visit to this lovely place must not be turned down. The examples of stained glass windows by the famous Harry Clarke are truly lovely
We were visiting Dingle on an organised coach trip and whilst most of those on the coach just get off and find somewhere to eat we like to investigate what there is of interest so picked up a leaflet about this place from the tourist information centre but it is rather difficult to find especially when you're limited with time but it really is worth a visit. Go into the church close by too but inside the old convent it really is spectacular but make sure you have enough time to really appreciate it!
While in Dingle, be sure to visit this old convent and church. The stained glass windows are magnificent. A must for any tourist visiting this beautiful little town.
Get inside and take a look around. The detail on the stained glass is amazing. This is a good activity if the weather is rainy as you are still learning about their culture, but you aren't getting soaked.
If you like Harry Clarke windows or have never even heard of him, run don't walk to this chapel. The windows are magnificent!!
