The spire is that of St Malachy's Catholic Church. Castlewellan is overwhelmingly a Catholic and Nationalist town - only 7 per of its population are from a non-Catholic background. Its neighbour, Rathfriland, a ten minute drive away, is not only a mainly Protestant town but one with a very strong Loyalist tradition.
