About this place

Founded in 1095, St Michan's is one of Dublin's oldest churches. The main draw is a visit to its underground crypts, where remarkably well-preserved mummies of prominent figures dating from 1600 to 1800 remain on display. The unique conditions beneath the church have naturally mummified these remains over centuries, creating an unusual historical curiosity that attracts visitors keen to see this distinctive aspect of Dublin's past.

Points included in this audio guide

1
18th-Century Organ

18th-Century Organ

St. Michan's organ is a remarkable feature of the church, housed within an 18th-century case crafted by John Baptiste Cuvillie between 1723 and 1725. The current instrument, built around 1940 by Evans and Barr of Belfast, features a pneumatic console with three manuals fitted into the original, more compact keyboard space. This blend of historic casing and mid-20th-century mechanics makes it a distinctive piece of Dublin's ecclesiastical heritage. Well worth seeing if you visit this historic church.

Organ Trophy

Organ Trophy

The Organ Trophy is a wooden carving positioned opposite the gallery of St Michan's Church. Installed in 1724, it features 17 intricately sculpted musical instruments. This finely detailed work showcases the craftsmanship of the period and remains a notable feature within the church. Visitors can appreciate the precision and artistry of the individual instrument carvings during what to see when exploring this historic Dublin location.
