Description
An image of the abandoned Catholic church of St. Malachy in Gooloogong, New South Wales. It was featured on the Facebook site for the Medieval Shoppe, who design historical replicas of swords, armour and other weapons.
The church, which fell out of use in 1914, was also used as an infants' school, but was later abandoned and has been ever since. The building possesses many Gothic architectural features, such as a vaulted ceiling, and pointed arched doorways and windows.
St Malachy (1094-1148) was a medieval Irish saint. He was Archbishop of Armagh.
