The religious heritage of Dalkey.

Begnet was an Irish princess who fled from an unwanted suitor and embraced Christianity. She founded two churches, one on Dalkey Island and the other is part of Dalkey Castle & Heritage Centre.

St. Begnet's became an important meeting point for missionaries on their way to Glendalough.
