A monastery was founded here by St MacCullin in early Christian times, and the name Lusk derives from the cave (Irish 'lusca') where MacCullin was buried after his death in 497 AD.

The unusual square sixteenth-century belfry incorporates a sixth century Round Tower with three later towers built to match, all attached to a nineteenth-century church which contains some fine mediaeval tombs. Now the Lusk Heritage Centre, the belfry houses an exhibition on the mediaeval churches of North County Dublin.
It also has a magnificent sixteenth-century effigy tomb.

In the nearby former church of St MaCullin is the Willie Monks Museum, whch portrays rural life in the locality between sixty and one hundred years ago.
