CARLOW CATHEDRAL

Its construction began in 1828, with the foundation stone laid by Bishop James Doyle, a prominent figure in Irish history. The cathedral was completed and consecrated in 1833. Its design is attributed to the renowned architect Thomas Cobden, a pioneer of the Gothic Revival style in Ireland. Cobden's vision for the cathedral was inspired by European examples, most notably the Belfry of Bruges, resulting in a striking blend of architectural elements.
