St. John's Cathedral, Cashel

The double-height cathedral features a three-stage clock steeple, four-bay nave elevations, and dressed limestone walls with Ionic pilasters along its sides.

Built in 1784 by architect Oliver Grace, this cathedral replaced the previous medieval structure on the Rock of Cashel following its closure in 1721.

The cathedral maintains an active role in the Church of Ireland as one of six cathedrals within the United Dioceses of Cashel, Ferns, and Ossory.

The cathedral opens its doors for regular services and guided tours, allowing visitors to explore its Georgian architecture and historical elements throughout the week.

The cathedral houses the 1786 Samuel Green organ and includes the Chapter House, which contains the extensive Bolton Library collection.
