Romanesque Churches 11th - 12th Centuries
Early Romanesque
The first Romanesque church to be built in Ireland was Cormac’s Chapel (1127 – 1134) in Cashel, Co. Tipperary. This was the first building in Ireland that was completely planned and designed. Its revolutionary construction, barrel and double barrel vaults, and decoration was inspirational across Europe.

It also underwent huge renovations during the Victorian era. Nonetheless, it still remains a fascinating sample of medieval architecture.
