A peaceful Victorian resting place
Goldenbridge Cemetery, established in 1828, is one of Dublin's most atmospheric Victorian burial grounds. With its ornate monuments, Celtic crosses, and tree-lined paths, it offers a fascinating glimpse into 19th-century Dublin society.
The cemetery was established to serve the growing Catholic population of Dublin during a period when sectarian tensions often extended even to burial practices.
The cemetery contains elaborate monuments that reflect the prosperity and tastes of Victorian Dublin. High crosses, ornate family vaults, and intricate ironwork are scattered throughout the grounds, each telling its own story of the lives and deaths of Dublin's citizens.
