Chapelizod

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chapelizod (Séipéal Iosóid in Irish, meaning "Iseult's Chapel") is a village in Dublin, Ireland.

Chapelizod village is located west of Dublin city. It lies along the River Liffey and is bordered to the west by Palmerstown, to the south by part of Ballyfermot and the main western thoroughfare out of Dublin city, the N4 road, and to the north by the Phoenix Park. It is very close to the Cromlech in Phoenix Park.

Interesting buildings in the village include St Laurance's Church, and a house mentioned by Le Fanu in his ghost stories (it is not entirely clear which building this is).

It is rumoured to be the burial site of Iseult of Ireland.
