✨ St. Canice’s Cathedral, Kilkenny ✨
Standing for over 800 years, St. Canice’s Cathedral is a stunning example of 13th-century Gothic architecture, built on the site of an earlier monastery founded by St. Canice in the 6th century. As the seat of the medieval Bishop of Ossory, it played a central role in Kilkenny’s history, witnessing Viking raids, Norman conquests, and the rise of the powerful Butler family.
Its Round Tower, one of the oldest in Ireland, dates back even further—likely from the 9th century—and offers breathtaking views of the city. Inside, the cathedral’s intricate tombs, medieval stonework, and stained glass tell the story of Ireland’s past in every detail.
We love how St. Canice’s is more than just a cathedral—it’s a living piece of history, standing as a testament to Kilkenny’s enduring legacy.
