Saint Mary's Cathedral is a beautiful building and in the process of raising funds to improve and maintain it. The interior is beautiful and there is a very peaceful atmosphere that invites you to stay for a while. There is an altar dedicated to Saint Margaret Mary and under it is a wax figure of a 14 year old Saint Victoria Martyr and the chalice that contains her preserved blood sent by the Pope when the Cathedral was being built. The relics of Saints Cosmos and Damian are under the High Altar and the relic of Saint Clement was placed under Our Blessed Lady's Altar. Well worth a visit and take some time to appreciate it's beauty.

The following review is based on a pre-pandemic trip going old school and only using paper maps and brochures to find places to stop at on a 3-week adventure to Ireland, Scotland, and England. No cell phone or internet. If you are in the area visiting the Kilkenny Castle and are into classic architecture, then this is a good stop to make that is a short walk from the castle. The design of the cathedral shows the evolution of church design from the flying buttress churches to stronger construction that did not need them,

This magnificent cathedral wowed me. Every nook and corner of this cathedral had an element of history that didn’t skip the eye. The stained glass windows, the original pre-reformation altar, the very many chapels and the graveyard were all worth taking a detailed look at. There is an entry fee of €5 and €3.50 for students.

One of top places to go to in Kilkenny. There are already a lot of photos online to show it’s gorgeous design. In case you don’t know. There is a public web cam that gives you an opportunity to virtually visit the cathedral if you cannot visit in person. The web cam link can be found on the main page.

Stunning, peaceful, heart-touching. I'd been looking for affordable rosaries, and I'm so glad to have waited until coming here to buy them - plus the staff checking my geoup and I out was super friendly. It's definitely worth a visit and a prayer.

This church is the cathedral church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Ossory. This cathedral is also referred to as “St Mary’s”, “the church of St Kieran” and “the Cathedral of the Assumption”. It’s bells ring every 15 minutes, 24 hours a day.
