    First constructed in XI century and restored in the XIX century, Christchurch is known officially as The Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity. Originally built as a Catholic Cathedral by Richard de Clare aka Strongbow, Second Earl of Pembroke, a Welsh Lord notable for the beginning the Norman conquest of Ireland, it eventually became an Anglican Cathedral. Christ Church Cathedral is the oldest and most recognized landmark in Dublin. There is an admission to the cathedral and even a donation is requested of visitors who come to pray only.

    There has been a chuch of some kind or another since 1030 and it's pretty impressive inside. I don't have any pictures of he inside because I never use a camera inside a church. Admission is 5 Euro. They have a gift shop inside that sells religious items and books on the churches history. The bells ring on Sunday 10.00 and 14.30 and I feel sorry for the folks at Jury's Inn right across the road because I hear their pretty loud. It's worth a visit because it's a quiet and serene place after walking the busy streets of Dublin all day.

    The cathedral and the park

    For some reason I really enjoy visiting these huge cathedrals wherever I go. No matter if it Cologne, Milan, Florence, Rome, London, Paris, Neaples, Genoa or Dublin - I'll go there. Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin is one of the more beautiful. Maybe not so much for the architecture, which is as beautiful in his way as anyone else, but more for the calmness that surrounds the cathedral. There is a small park just behind it, and even if a lot of cars were driving past it there were still something in the atmosphere that really appealed to me. The Christ Church Cathedral is the oldest building in Dublin, dated all the time back to 1038. Between 1871 and 1878 it was restaurated. According to photos I've seen of the inside here at VT it's really beautiful, but unfortunaly I arrived to the church two minutes after closing time... Although there is an admission fee to enter, and since I really hate when they make you pay to enter God's house it was maybe better that way... Unfortunately I didn't manage to find St Patrick's cathedral, which is said to be close to Christ Church. So only one cathedral for me in Dublin. Well, maybe next time instead.

  • This cathedral is very large & many artifacts have survived in the crypt. This cathedral is C1030 although lots of restoration work has been done. A donation of Euro 5 is requested & you can take photographs inside. The unusual item in this cathedral is a glass case holding a mumified cat & a rat, the cat was chasing the rat in around 1860's & got stuck in an organ pipe. When they were discovered the cat & rat were in a perfect mumified state

    Looking up the hill behind the Civic Offices you see Christchurch. (picture on Dublin mainpage) Up you go! Christchurch is well worth a visit when open, and well worth a walk around the outside anytime. Don't miss the Gargoyles! There are very few buildings in Dublin with Gargoyles, so make sure see them here (East end of the building, facing down Dame St.)

    Earliest reports show that this Cathedral was built in 1030 by Dunan, the first bishop of Dublin. It was originally founded as a Viking church, and was a subject of the Archbishop of Canterbury. Throughout the years, documents show that it was changed to an Irish Church. In the 1600's King James attended mass here, and has been renovated several times since. The church is open from 9:45 to 4:30 every day, and on Sundays, no groups are allowed until after 12:45.

    This is Christ Church, I took many angle pictures of the church. It was a very beautiful church. You can tour inside and they ask for a donation. It has alot of history, so I recommend it. I tried to go to service there, but was too early.

    The old cathedral is located in the heart of the ancient Dublin. It’s the oldest buiding in the city, founded in 1038 and in 1172 got it’s actual look. It’s very close to the castle. The entrance is free. Take a walk inside and admire the ornaments and hear what the stones tell to you.

    Christchurch Cathedral is Dublin's oldest landmarks. Dating back to 1038. The Catherdal was founded by Sitrvic, King of the Dublin Norsemen. Check out the exhibition "Treasures of Christ Church" to learn about the history. You can pick up a leaflet inside which will give you all the details . Don't miss the crypts. You will also learn about the Choir, which was founded in 1480 and the claim to fame.. taking part in the first performance of Handel's Messiah.

    What's a great old church without either a churchyard or a crypt, hmmmm? Not much, I say. Thankfully there are some interesting bits to check out in Christchurch's crypt, not so very spooky if there's renovation work going on down there at the time, but you'll find enough shadows and mustiness to feed your imagination.
