| Teampull Bheanain is considered the smallest church in the world and is notable for its orientation: northââ¬âsouth instead of eastââ¬âwest. A unique example of Celtic church construction. it marks the location of the original monastic settlement founded by Benen, the disciple of St. Patrick, the national saint of Ireland. It dates from the 11th century, and has stood unaltered a thousand years. |
