St. Aidan's Cathedral, Gothic Revival Catholic cathedral in County Wexford, Ireland.

The cathedral features pointed arches, dressed local stone exterior walls, and detailed stone tracery in the north window of the building.

Construction of the cathedral began in 1843 under architect Augustus Pugin, who based the design on the structure of Tintern Abbey in Wales.

The cathedral bears the name of Máedóc of Ferns, who died in 626, and serves as the main church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Ferns.

Sunday Mass services occur at 10:00 AM and 12:00 noon, while weekday services take place at 10:00 AM with an additional Saturday Vigil Mass at 6:00 PM.

The building materials include stones salvaged from a former Franciscan Friary nearby, incorporating local heritage into its construction.
