Located on Church Street in Dublin, St. Michan\u2019s Church dates back from 1685. Underneath the edifice, you will find five graves containing the remains of the most powerful families of the next three centuries. In fact, the lack of moisture in the air led to a natural conservation of the corpses and most of the coffins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weakest funerary boxes broke with time and, reveal to you mummified bodies such as the revolutionary Sheares Brothers or the rebellious Theobald Wolfe Tone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Address:<\/strong> Church\nSt, Arran Quay, Dublin 7<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are\ninto mummified remains, then you will love to see the preserved bodies of both\na cat and the rat it was chasing. Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin has them on\ndisplay as they got stuck into the church\u2019s organ! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who have a strong stomach, Saint Peter\u2019s Church in Drogheda displays the embalmed head of Saint Oliver Plunkett, a 17th-century martyr. The top part of the earliest new canonized martyr rests in a golden altar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
