Can’t speak for aesthetics but it looks like a 4th class history project made of biscuit tins and wooden ice cream sticks.
I think it’s beautiful
Is that St. Peter’s? One of my grandmother’s was baptised there. Her family left Drogheda when she was only very little though so I’m not familiar with that town other than one visit on her birthday in 1995.
Not a bad-looking church at all. Much nicer than those modernist eyesores you find in many Dublin suburbs. The tower is unusual though.
I like it, you can see the influences of other European styles on it (leading to the confused mix others mention), the front with the pillars and triangular gable roof like the Pantheon in Rome.
The tower similar to the Cathedrals and churches of Seville which are converted Mosques with bell-towers on top of minarets.
and the materials/construction similar to a lot of the civic and state and religious buildings built in postwar Ireland with the green/copper roof, big pale bricks with exaggerated arches and corners. Like the cathedral in Galway.
The fuck?! It’s like a church bell tower was built beside a bank that was built behind the listed facade of an old court house. It looks weird.
It’s fine.
To me each of the individual parts look fine on their own but together it feels like way too much is going on in one building, too many styles fused together

It’s like 3 different buildings stuck together
