The Old Church of Dunlewey
The hauntingly beautiful ruins of the Old Church of Dunlewey stand beneath the brooding shadow of Mount Errigal. Built in the mid-1800s by Jane Smith Russell in memory of her beloved husband, Reverend James Russell, the church is a lasting testament to a deep and tragic love. Locals tell how Jane, heartbroken after his untimely death, oversaw every detail of the little Gothic-style church so his spirit would never be forgotten. Though services ceased long ago, visitors say the place still carries a gentle, romantic hush an enduring whisper of devotion that lingers among the wild heather and Donegal mist.
