Lonely Planet review for St Michan’s Church
Founded by Danes in 1095, major rebuilding in 1686 and 1828 left little of the original structure. The church has a fine oak organ that may have been played by Handel, but the star attraction is the church’s vault, where buried bodies have been gruesomely mummified by the magnesium limestone walls, limbs bursting out of coffins.
