Dublin Mosque

History of the Church

In the early 1970s, when there was no mosque in Dublin, Muslim students began to contact their relatives and Islamic organizations in the UK and some Islamic countries, to gather with the intention of money for the establishment of a mosque in Dublin. In 1974 a four-story house was purchased, and in 1976 the first mosque and the first Islamic Center was opened. A few years after the founding of the mosque was too small to accommodate the growing number of believers.

The building

The former Presbyterian Church, built in the 1860s in the style of an English church of the 13th century. In 1983 the building was bought by the " Islamic Foundation of Ireland" and converted into a mosque.
