There is a surprise around virtually every corner in the midlands, probably the last part of the country, north or south to escape the kind of attention other parts of the country get.
Take, for instance, St Mary's Church of the Assumption in Tullamore, Offaly, which was first built in 1802, demolished a century later and destroyed by fire in 1983.
When the church was being rebuilt the architect, Edward N. Smith, incorporated a priceless Harry Clark stained glass window which had been removed from Rathfarnham Castle and was donated by the Jesuit community.
The stained glass windows from the old church in Baltinglass, Co Wicklow were also incorporated into the building.
The baptismal font came from the old Church of Ireland church at Lynally, Tullamore, a gift from the Church of Ireland parishioners.
But one last treasure was to come to Tullamore.
That was the donation of the Frobenius organ by the Vor Frue Kirke congregation in Denmark.
This organ, reckoned to be the best in Ireland, is almost matched by the organ in the National Concert Hall, which however has fewer pipes than the Tullamore one.
The Tullamore organ was built by Th Frobenius & Sons of Lyngby, Copenhagen for the great cathedral church in Copenhagen.
It has 53 stops, three manuals and pedals and a grand total of 3,916 pipes. Its value is estimated at £1 million.
By 1993 the Copenhagen cathedral felt it needed a much bigger organ to fill its great space with adequate sound and so it was decided to dispose of it.
Gerard Gillen, Ireland's foremost organist, had played on the Copenhagen instrument and through his contact with the organist at Copenhagen, Niels Henrick Nielsen, the great organ was donated to Tullamore church.
It was inaugurated in a gala concert in May 1995 in the church but its fame as one of the great organs of the world has become widespread. According to Brid Broderick, of the Tullamore International Summer Organ Series, many organists have sought out the instrument over the years just for the joy of having played it.
"We decided this year that we would try and run a series of concerts so music lovers could hear the best organists in Europe play on what has the reputation of being the best organ in Europe," she said.
Next Monday the first of these concerts will be held in the church.
It will feature the Dutch organist Qwald Kooiman. On Monday, July 12th, Martin Baker, Westminster Abbey, will play, and on Monday, August 16th, it will be the turn of Niels Henrik Jessen, Copenhagen.
The final concert will take place on Monday, September 13th, when Gerard Gillen will give a recital.
