St. Michan's Church, Medieval church building in Dublin, Ireland
The stone building features an organ case from 1725, wooden galleries, and underground burial vaults containing preserved remains from past centuries.
Founded in 1095 and rebuilt in 1686 under architect William Robinson, St. Michan's Church represents one of Dublin's earliest standing parish structures.
The church houses an organ from 1724 that holds historical significance as the instrument George Frideric Handel reportedly used while preparing for Messiah.
Tours operate Monday through Friday from 10:00 to 12:45 and 14:00 to 16:45, with Saturday morning visits available until 12:45.
The limestone walls of the underground vaults create conditions that naturally preserve human remains, including those of the Sheares brothers from the 1798 rebellion.
