Gordon Bennett Stage 2
H. OLD LEIGHLIN
St. Lazerian’s Cathedral was built here in the 13th century on the site of a
church founded by St. Gobban in 632 A.D. One of the foremost monastic houses in
Leinster, a church synod held here in the 7th century determined the date of
Easter for the entire Christian world. Tel 059-9720934 or 087-6369473 for
opening times. A visit to the nearby pretty town of Leighlinbridge should not be
missed with its graceful bridge, 14th century mediaeval castle and series of
fine gardens.
