Description:

The Cathedral of the Church of Christ is the main cathedral of Dublin. Its construction dates back to 1030, the temple was built by decree of the Viking king. The stone building appeared in 1180. In 1562 there was a catastrophe - the arches of the cathedral collapsed. The temple was restored in the 17th century, as a result of reconstruction it acquired a Gothic style.

In the XIX century, the cathedral was restored again, some buildings were added to the main building, including the hall of the synod, which is connected to the church by a stone passage.

The cathedral has several well-preserved medieval buildings, including the vaulted crypt, which is the oldest structure in Dublin and the largest medieval crypt in England.

Inside the temple you can see an amazing exhibit – a mummified cat and a rat, which were found in the pipes of the organ.
