The Chapel Royal in Dublin Castle was the authorized Church of Ireland chapel of the Household of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland from 1814 until the formation of the Irish Free State in 1922 when the office of Lord Lieutenant, and his British government administration in Ireland was concluded. The chapel was planned by Francis Johnston and contains one of the optimum Gothic revival interiors in Ireland. It was constructed to reinstate an earlier 18th century church that endured structural problems due to being built on soft ground close to the location of the original castle moat.
