Christ Church Cathedral Dublin Ireland.
Also known as the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, the origins of the cathedral date back to the 11th Century, when Dublin was occupied by the Vikings. The Norse king, Dunan, founded the cathedral which was incorporated into the Irish Church in 1152. The original building was replaced with a new cathedral founded by Strongbow in 1172, and which took fifty years to complete. This postcard image of the Cathedral buildings, with the dome of the Four Courts visible accross the Liffey is from circa 1977, prior to the construction of the adjoining Civic Offices at Wood Quay which have since impeded these views. |
