About Christ Church Cathedral
Christ Church Cathedral is Dublin's oldest building still in daily use. The Viking king Sitric founded the original wooden church in 1030. The medieval stone cathedral dates from the 1170s and contains the famous crypt, the largest in Britain and Ireland.
History
The cathedral is shown on Speed's map of 1610, when it stood at the centre of a growing city. Before Dame Street was laid out, the cathedral provided a thoroughfare between Wine Tavern Street and High Street. The crypt, which came to hold the cathedral's historical collections, once housed the city market.
Notable features
The cathedral holds Strongbow's Tomb, which was selected as object 45 in the History of Ireland in 100 Objects, a project the cathedral took part in and whose publication appeared in 2013.
