St. Fin Barre's Cathedral stands on Bishop Street in Cork, in the south of Ireland. It is a Gothic Revival cathedral, built between 1865 and 1879, and it serves as the cathedral church of the Church of Ireland Diocese of Cork. Visitors also know it as Cork Cathedral.
What to see
The building is known for its impressive spires and its architecture, which rewards a slow walk around the outside before you go in. The Gothic Revival style, with its pointed arches and vertical lines, gives the cathedral a striking profile against the city skyline.
Visiting the area
- Bishop Street places the cathedral within easy reach of the rest of central Cork, so it can be part of a walk through the city.
- Because the cathedral is a working church, it makes a quiet stop between other sights.
- Its setting in the heart of the city suits a visit of an hour or so, or a longer stay for those interested in church architecture.
