On the wall of the local parish church is a statue of Isis, an Egyptian God. It was a gift from the people of Egypt to the people of Ireland and was presented by the ambassador of Egypt, H.E. Hussein Mesharafa on the 10^th July 1993.

Also near the church is a sculpture garden containing pyramid like structures which are also like the beehive huts of former days.
