Christ Church Cathedral Waterford

Highlight • Religious Site

Also called the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, it is a church of the Church of Ireland. Its origins date back to the time of the first Christianized Vikings in 1096. The building, destroyed by fire in 1815, dates from the 18th century, largely rebuilt at the beginning of the next century in an English Gothic style. You will certainly be impressed by the reclining black stone figure depicting James Rice, mayor of the city in the 15th century, who asked for his body to be depicted in the state of decomposition that would be observed a year after his death. The whole contains, very realistically, a Latin inscription that invites us to reflect on our mortal fate.
