Dublin: Christ Church storytelling tour

Explore Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin with an entry ticket. Admire the stunning architecture, visit the ancient crypt, and see the famous mummified cat and rat known as "Tom and Jerry."
Step into nearly 1,000 years of history at Christ Church Cathedral, located in the heart of Dublin’s historic medieval quarter. Founded around 1028, this remarkable cathedral is one of the city’s most significant landmarks and is renowned for its beautiful architecture, historic treasures, and impressive medieval crypt.

Descend into the cathedral’s ancient crypt, one of the largest in Ireland and the oldest surviving structure still in regular use in Dublin. Explore its fascinating collection of artifacts, memorials, and curiosities, including the famous mummified cat and rat. According to local legend, the cat chased the rat into an organ pipe, where both became trapped. Their unusual story was later referenced by James Joyce in Finnegans Wake, and they are affectionately known by locals as “Tom and Jerry.”

Discover the cathedral’s connection to medieval pilgrims who traveled to the church centuries ago, and learn about its historic collection of religious relics. Back above ground, admire the stunning stained-glass windows, intricate medieval floor tiles, and the timeless atmosphere of the cathedral’s nave.
