St. Brigid's Cathedral is located on the original grounds of St. Brigid's wooden church. Between 1223 and 1230 the present Cathedral was built. It was semi-ruinous by the year 1500, derelict by 1649, partially rebuilt in 1686 and finally restored to its present form from 1875-1896. Its environs include a Round Tower and a high cross. Major Restoration works took place in 1996.
