The result was: '''scheduled for Today's featured article/March 17, 2019  Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral is a Gothic revival three-spire cathedral in the city of Cork, Ireland. It belongs to the Church of Ireland and was completed in 1879. The cathedral is dedicated to Finbarr of Cork, patron saint of the city, who may have founded a monastery on the site in the seventh century. During the medieval period, the site underwent successive wars and repeated construction and damage. Around 1536, during the Protestant Reformation, the cathedral became part of the established church, later known as the Church of Ireland. The previous building was constructed in the 1730s, but was widely regarded as plain and featureless. The cathedral's demolition and rebuilding was commissioned in the mid-19th century. Work began in 1863, and resulted in the first major commission for the Victorian architect William Burges, who designed most of Fin Barre's architecture, sculpture, stained glass, mosaics and interior furniture.
