Christchurch Cathedral is located on the southside of Dublin City, just beyond the western end of Temple Bar. The church was established by the Hiberno-Norse king, Sitric ‘Silkbeard’ and Dunan, Dublin’s first bishop. The cathedral was remodelled in Victorian times, however many of the earlier medieval features have been retained. Some attractions within Christchurch Cathedral include the stunning, Gothic Greta Nave, a beautiful, hand-wrought brass Medieval Lectern and impressive Romanesque doorways. For the more macabre, the cathedral also houses the heart of St Laurence O’Toole.
