The cathedral was founded c.1030 by Sitric, King of the Dublin Norsemen. Christ Church is one of the oldest Dublin landmarks. The cathedral and the Treasures of Christ Church exhibition reflect 1,000 years of history, architecture & worship. The choir was founded in 1480 and with the choir of Saint Patrick’s Cathedral took part in the first performance of Handel’s Messiah. Concerts, recitals & lectures are also part of the cathedral programme but the music at the regular services is a major attraction.
