Detail InformationEdit

St. Michan’s Church, located in Church Street, Dublin, Ireland, is a Church of Ireland church.
Built on the site of an early Danish chapel (1095), the current structure dates largely from a reconstruction in 1686, but is still (possibly) the only parish church on the north side of the Liffey surviving from a Viking foundation. While the exterior of the church may be unimpressive, the interior boasts some fine woodwork, and an organ (dated 1724) on which Handel is said to have composed his Messiah.
The vaults of St. Michan’s uniquely contain many mummified remains. The walls in the vaults contain limestone, which has kept the air dry, creating ideal conditions for preservation. Among the preserved remains are a 400-year-old nun, a six-and-a-half foot man popularly believed to have been a crusader, a body with its feet and right hand severed, and the Sheares brothers-Henry and John-who took part in the 1798 rebellion. The various holders of the title Earl of Leitrim were also interred here.
