Both churches are located in Church Street. The Catholic church is St Mary's Star of the Sea, consecrated in 1854 and replaced a small 18th century mass house. The building in the foreground left is the Convent of Mercy. The Anglican church appears not to be dedicated to any particular saint and is known simply as Rostrevor Church of Ireland. The latter dates from 1744.
