Customer reviews about Christ Church Cathedral

    A fine Georgian Cathedral which is sited on a place of Christian worship for almost 1,000 years. Construction of this present building began in 1773 and completed by the same John Roberts who designed the Roman Catholic Cathedral in 1779. This gives Waterford the unique distinction of being the only city in Europe where the protestant and catholic cathedral’s were conceived by the same man.
    It is an active place of worship today and is a parish church.

    Waterford has two Cathedrals and both were designed by John Roberts.

    The Georgians were ruthless in destroying older buildings to build their own style. They dropped bits of masonry from the roof to persuade the bishop to destroy the Gothic cathedral that once stood here.

    Whether this was a good swap or not is a matter of opinion so no 5 stars!
