Elmwood Hall

The Elmwood Hall is a former Presbyterian Church in the University Road in Belfast (Northern Ireland), opposite the Queen's University Belfast area. The church was built in the years 1860–1862 and combines different architectural styles, but for the most part represents the Italianized style with a point on the bell tower, as is typical for this style of sacred buildings. However, the tower was not completed until 1872.

The construction goes back to a design by John Corry. The original pulpit, most of the interior furnishings and stained glass windows have since been removed. The building is listed in Category A (Grade A) of the Statutory List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest and is a listed building.

Today the building is used as the venue for the Ulster Orchestra .
