Climb the Round Tower
Now that the winter chill is dissipating, why not get the best view in Kilkenny and climb the 121 steps to the top of our Round Tower. Its one of only 2 round towers in Ireland that you can climb!
Stepping into the cathedral during the Easter season is a transcendent experience. The majestic architecture, adorned with intricate carvings and stained-glass windows, creates an atmosphere of reverence and awe. As sunlight filters through the vibrant hues of the stained glass, illuminating the ancient stone walls, visitors are transported to a place where time seems to stand still.
On Easter Sunday morning, the cathedral awakens to the sounds of jubilation and praise. The Easter Eucharist, a celebratory service commemorating the resurrection of Christ, fills the sanctuary with music, prayer, and thanksgiving. You will find a full list of Easter Services on our website here.
