Cathedral

Christ Church Cathedral
No visit to Waterford, the Crystal County, is complete without a visit to Christ Church Cathedral. It is the only neo-classical Georgian Cathedral in Europe and the finest 18th Century ecclesiastical building in Ireland. There has been a Cathedral on this site since 1096. The cathedrals that have occupied this spot have been witness to a thousand years of history. Many lives have touched here and many more are remembered in stone. What stories must be held within these walls and pillars, plaques and pews…if only the pillars could speak…well, maybe they can.
