| - The Chapel of the Sacred Heart is a neo-gothic chapel in Dingle, County Kerry, Ireland. Attached to Saint Mary's Catholic Church, on Green Street in the center of the town, it was built for a local enclosed order of Presentation Sisters, by the architect C. J. McCarthy in 1886. The original building consisted of a short and narrow nave, flanked by choir stalls, leading to an altar and three stained glass bay windows. The chapel underwent major refurbishment in the early 1920s, during the tenure of the order's Mother Superior Ita Macken. Under guidance from the Irish architect and architectural historian Rudolf M. Butler, Macken commissioned the Irish artist Harry Clarke to produce six double lancet stained glass windows for the chapel. They were completed and installed in 1924, with three of the colorful and highly detailed windows situated on either side of the nave. The lancets depict scenes from the life of Christ. Clarke was at the time a leading figure in the Arts and Crafts movement and was paid a fee of £1,000 for the works. Today it is under the ownership of Díseart Centre of Irish Spirituality and Culture (Irish: Ionad Spioradáltachta agus Cultúir Ghaelaigh). As Clarke later became an internationally renowned artist, the chapel is a significant local tourist attraction. (en)
