St Patrick's Cathedral, Armagh is a cathedral located in Armagh, Northern Ireland. The origins of the site are as a 5th century Irish stone monastery, founded by St. Patrick. Throughout the Middle Ages, the cathedral was the seat of the Archbishop of Armagh, the premier see of the Catholic Church in Ireland and formed a significant part of the culture of Christianity in Gaelic Ireland. With the advent of the 16th century and the introduction of Protestantism into Ireland, the cathedral came under the Anglican Church of Ireland, with Englishman, George Cromer, acting as the first Anglican Archbishop of Armagh in the Church of Ireland and remains under their control to this day. It is also the cathedral of the Anglican Diocese of Armagh. In the 19th century, following Catholic Emancipation, Irish Catholics founded a new cathedral in Armagh, also named for St. Patrick: the two should not be confused.
