Cathedral of the Assumption of Blessed Virgin Mary, Catholic cathedral in Carlow, Ireland.
The Cathedral of the Assumption rises 151 feet with its spire and features pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and dimension stone construction throughout the structure.
The foundation stone was placed by Bishop James Doyle in March 1828, making this the second oldest Roman Catholic cathedral constructed in Ireland.
The cathedral holds a monument created by sculptor John Hogan, who designed both the Bishop Doyle memorial and the Holy Family Group near the Marian altar.
The cathedral schedules multiple Mass services throughout the week, with Sunday services occurring at various times including Saturday evening celebrations.
Two Caen stone altars from 1873 and a marble altar consecrated in 1890 enhance the interior space of this Gothic Revival cathedral.
