This is a 9th century building in my hometown of Kells which stored many relics of St Columba. Growing up, tourists were so confused as to how to get access-
"So I just knock on this person's door and ask for the key??"
Kells person-"Yeah".

Today is the feast day of St Columba (Colum Cille), who according to tradition, wrote the Cathach (RIA MS 12 R 33) as a copy of a Latin psalter belonging to St Finnian in a single night. A dispute arose about the ownership of the copy leading to the battle of Cúl Dreimne in AD 561.
