Kinsale - St Multose Church

Kinsale's most notable building is St Multose's Church (12th C.), now the parish church. On the northwest side of the church stands the tower, with a Romanesque doorway. Above the west doorway can be seen a 15th C. statue of St Multose, who is credited with the foundation of a monastery which once stood here. The church has an interesting collection of tombstones (17th C.) and a fine font. Near the church, higher up the hill, is an attractive group of almshouses of 1682.
