About

This is Church of Ireland, built in 1731, incorporating the Romanesque porch and doorway from a church of 1100. That in turn replaced the first church of 622 AD, destroyed by the Vikings.

St. Lachtain's Church was built in 1731 in the village of Freshford, County Kilkenny, Ireland. The church is named after St. Lachtain who died in Donoughmore, County Cork, in 622. It is almost certain that a church was built on the present site soon after St Lachtain's death. During the period of Viking raiding of Ireland, St Lachtain's was robbed of its gold and silver ornaments and its books were burned.
