Situated in the heart of the walled medieval cityof Dublin, St. Audoen’s Church is the only remaining medieval parish church in Dublin. It is dedicated to St. Ouen, the 7th century Bishop of Rouen and Patron Saint of Normandy.

St. Audeons Church was crucial to the life of the medieval city. Here papal bulls were pronounced and public penances were carried out. The Guild Chapel of St. Ann houses an award-winning exhibition on the importance of St. Audoen’s to medieval Dublin.

Visitors to St. Audoen’s will see the part of the church still in use by the Church of Ireland as a parish church. They can also view the 17th-century memorials to the Sparke and Duff families and to the 15th-century effigial tomb of Baron Portlester and his wife.

St. Audeons Church is also nearby Dublin Castle; the nerve centre of historic power in Ireland, St. Stephens Green; a victorian civic gem in Dublin's greatest garden square, and Abour Hill Cemetary; the final resting place of the leaders of 1916 such as Patrick Pearse, James Connolly and Major John MacBride, an unforgettable year for Ireland.
