St, Audoen's Church
St. Audoen's Church is the oldest parish church in Dublin and still used as such. It is located at Cornmarket, close to the centre of the medieval city.
The church is named after St. Ouen (or Audoen) of Rouen (France), a saint who lived in the seventh century and was dedicated to him by the Normans. It was erected in 1190 on the site of an older church dedicated to St. Columcille, dating to the seventh century. St. Audoen's parish was once the most wealthy and respectable within the city, and the church was for hundreds of years frequented on state occasions by the Lord Mayor and Corporation.
