Built between 1904 and 1906, the Church of the Holy Rosary Replaced a temporary church which was destroyed by a storm in 1903. W.H. Byrne designed the Church of the Holy Rosary in Romanesque Revival style. Greystones is a Parish in the Archdiocese of Dublin and Glendalough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>La Touche Road in Greystones is named after the La Touche family, a prominent Anglo-Irish family who were prominent landowners and bankers in Ireland. The La Touche family owned a large estate in Greystones, and the road was named after them when the town was developed in the mid-19th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The La Touche family can trace their lineage back to the 16th century, and they were involved in a number of businesses, including banking, landholding, and manufacturing. The La Touche Bank was one of the most important banks in Ireland during the 18th and 19th centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The La Touche family&#8217;s involvement in the development of Greystones can be seen in a number of ways. The La Touche family donated land for the construction of St. Patrick&#8217;s Church, and they also built the La Touche Hotel. The La Touche Hotel was a grand hotel that was located on Trafalgar Road, and it was a popular destination for tourists and locals alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The La Touche family&#8217;s legacy is still visible in Greystones today. La Touche Road is a major road in the town, and the La Touche Hotel building has been converted into apartments. The La Touche family&#8217;s name is also remembered in the names of a number of other streets and landmarks in Greystones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-vivid-purple-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-vivid-purple-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alignnormal\"><div id=\"metaslider-id-2003\" style=\"width: 100%;
