St Audoen's Church, Dublin, Medieval parish church in Dublin, Ireland.
St Audoen's Church is a Greek Revival church building with medieval foundations, marked by a bell tower from the 13th century. The interior features stained glass windows and multiple altars funded by wealthy parishioners.
The church was founded in 1190, making it the oldest parish church in Dublin. It was dedicated to Saint Ouen, a 7th-century bishop from Rouen.
The Guild Chapel of St Anne displays artifacts showing how this place shaped religious and social life in medieval Dublin. Visitors can see how wealthy trade groups and merchants left their mark on the building.
The church offers free guided tours with a typical visit lasting about one hour, and provides partial access for visitors with mobility concerns. Visiting outside peak tourist times makes it easier to appreciate the space without crowds.
Inside the church rests an early Celtic gravestone known as the Lucky Stone, which medieval merchants once believed brought financial success. This artifact reveals how people mixed faith with hopes for material gain.
