The church in Ballysteen was built in 1861 and is dedicated
to St. Patrick. The 3rd Earl of Dunraven donated the land for the church
in Ballysteen. The date of the church is inscribed on the church bell,
which dated from the same year. The church building is noteworthy because
of the impressive stonework on the exterior walls. The church was reroofed
in 1996. In the grounds of the church, there is a plot to the Naughton
family.
