How to Get There
Frequently Asked Questions about Christ Church Cathedral: Entry Ticket
Founded in the 11th century, Christ Church Cathedral is Dublin's first and oldest working structure. It has been the spiritual heart of the city for nearly 1,000 years and boasts the largest medieval crypt in Ireland.
The massive underground crypt houses the King's Treasury, historical monuments, Ireland's first copy of the Magna Carta, and fascinating oddities like a mummified cat and rat.
St. Laurence O'Toole is the patron saint of Dublin. A preserved relic of his heart is famously kept on display within the cathedral for visitors to see.
Strongbow was a famous Norman lord who played a major role in Irish history. His impressive, centuries-old tomb is prominently located in the cathedral's nave.
Affectionately known as 'Tom and Jerry', this cat and rat were found stuck inside an organ pipe in the 1850s. The extremely dry conditions naturally mummified them, and they are now one of the crypt's most popular exhibits.
Most visitors spend between 40 minutes and an hour exploring the nave, the Treasury exhibition, and the medieval crypt.
