St. Mary and St. Anne’s Cathedral

St. Mary and St. Anne’s Cathedral, also known as “Cork Cathedral,” “St. Mary’s Cathedral,” or “the North Cathedral,” is located in Cork City, Ireland. It is a Roman Catholic church and serves as the cathedral church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Cork and Ross.

St. Mary and St. Anne’s Cathedral is an imposing structure. The cathedral was consecrated in 1808, and its bicentenary was celebrated in 2008, marking it as the oldest religious building in Cork City. The church was destroyed by fire in 1820, after which restoration work began. In 1964, the cathedral was expanded, its interior was redesigned, and a shrine was added. In 1996, the cathedral underwent renovation, with its roof and Gothic ceiling restored to give it a fresh, beautiful appearance that welcomes both visitors and worshippers.
