Ardfert Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

Ardfert was once a centre of religious importance which can be seen by the presence of both a cathedral and a friary. The cathedral dates back to the 11th century, although with frequent updates throughout the ages. It was destroyed by fire during the Irish Uprising in 1641, ut after the south transept was rebuilt continued as a place of worship for 200 years until the 1870s.
