ST. MICHAEL’S Church is a very prominent building in Enniskillen for many reasons. Architecturally speaking, its spire is a stunning sight as it stands tall in the townscape. However, accompanied by the spire of neighbouring St. Macartin’s Cathedral, its visual impact is even more striking. The two spires standing together is almost a metaphor for the close neighbourly relationship the two churches – one Roman Catholic, one Protestant – that have been nurtured through the years against the backdrop of what is often perceived as a divided nation. St. Michael’s Church was built in 1875 and although the spire and belfry were on the original building plans for the church, they were not erected until 1992, more than 100 years later.
