St. Peter and St. Pauls' Cathedral, Glendalough[1] is a former cathedral[2] in the Republic of Ireland:[3] it is within the same enclosure as Our Lady's Church and the Round Tower.[4]

Adam Loftus, 1st Viscount Loftus, was appointed Archdeacon of the Cathedral in 1604, and retained the office until his death in 1643, despite objections from the Archbishop of Canterbury.
