St. Laserian's Cathedral is the Anglican cathedral of Leighlin. The cathedral was built in the Middle Ages in place of the abbey church (dated 632). It is one of the smallest of its time. It is Gothic in style - the size of its windows is no larger than a Romanesque window - and has a low square crenellated tower. The northern arm of its transept is in ruins.
The Cathedral of the Assumption is the Catholic cathedral of Carlow. Work on the neo-Gothic cathedral began on 7 April 1828 under the supervision of the architect Joseph Lynch, followed in 1829 by Thomas Cobden who modified the plans. It was completed in 1833.
St Canice's Cathedral is the Anglican cathedral of Kilkenny. The present building dates from the 13th century and is the second-longest cathedral in Ireland. Behind the cathedral is a well-preserved 30m round tower dating from the 9th century.
St Mary's Cathedral is the Catholic cathedral of Kilkenny. It was built from 1843 to 1857 and designed by the architect William Deane Butler (1794-1857). The cathedral has a cross plan, and its style is described as "early English Gothic". It was probably inspired by the English cathedral in Gloucester.
