About

Kildare Cathedral, also known as St. Brigid's Cathedral, is a significant historical and religious site located in Kildare, Ireland. The cathedral is dedicated to St. Brigid, one of Ireland's patron saints, who is believed to have founded a monastery on the site in the 5th century. The current structure, which reflects Norman architectural style, dates back to the 13th century, although it has undergone several restorations over the centuries. The cathedral features beautiful stained glass windows, an impressive round tower that visitors can climb for panoramic views, and various artifacts related to St. Brigid and the early Christian period in Ireland.
