• St Michans

  Cairo has its burial chambers and
  pharaonic mummies, Rome its noble
  tombs and subterranean catacombs
  but Dublin has its very own haunting
  and supposedly haunted crypts of St
  Michan’s Church! First built by the
  Vikings in the 11th century as the
  parish church for their suburb on the
  northern banks of the River Liffey, St
  Michan’s has seen much rebuilding and
  restoration especially in the 12th, 16th
  and 19th centuries.
