The history of St. Peter’s Church dates back to 1,270 when King Henry III granted patronage of the church to the Bishop of Cork. St. Peter’s church was deconsecrated in 1949. The building remained dilapidated until 1988 when Cork City Council took on the task of restoring this historic building as a public cultural facility.
