St Colman’s Cathedral and its beautifully architecture is a Roman Catholic cathedral located in Cobh. It is the cathedral church of the Diocese of Cloyne. Built in 1867, the Cathedral of Saint Colman is a large and elaborately detailed neo-Gothic building. It is prominently sited overlooking Cork harbour and visible for quite a distance. Tourists often climb the hills of Cobh to admire and photograph it.

Come in and have a look at the expertly detailed craftsman ship that was put into wood carvings, stone carvings and flooring. The exterior detail is intricate, elegant and well-proportioned. Its south front faces out to the sea and hosts flying buttresses, gargoyles and pinnacles. The cathedral contains the largest church carillon in the Republic of Ireland with 49 bells.

An automated system strikes the hour and 15 minute intervals while it also rings the bells in appropriate form for Masses, funerals, weddings and events. The carillon is also played on special occasions and generally every Sunday afternoon by its current carillonneur, Adrian Gebruers.
