Chapelizod (Irish: Séipéal Iosóid, meaning "Iseult's Chapel") is a picturesque Irish village preserved within the city of Dublin, Ireland. It lies in the verdant wooded valley of the River Liffey, on the way to the slopes of the Strawberry Beds, below the Phoenix Park. The village is associated with Iseult of Ireland and the location of Iseault's chapel. Chapelizod is under the administration of Dublin City Council.
The civil parish of Chapelizod is part of the Barony of Castleknock. The barony is one of seven and a half comprising County Dublin and stretches from Cabra to Blanchardstown (from east to west) and from Finglas to Chapelizod (from north to south).
In the 19th century, the Roman Catholic parish of Blanchardstown encompassed much of the area now within the Dublin 15 postal district. Following the relaxation of the Penal Laws, it became possible for the Catholic adherents to consider the construction of additional churches and to repair the existing stock of religious buildings. St Brigid's Church Blanchardstown, not to be confused with a church of the Church of Ireland in nearby Castleknock, was constructed in 1837 upon the foundation of a church that had been built prior to 1731. It is the Mother church of 12 other churches constituted out of the parish over the following 156 years. Among these was the church of the "Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary". The parish separated from Blanchardstown 1883.The eastern part of the new parish was in turn constituted out of Chapelizod in 1953 as the Navan Road parish of "Our Lady Help of Christians".
In the Church of Ireland, the church of St Laurence, with its 14th-century bell tower, is one of two churches that today form part of the parish of Crumlin.
Interesting buildings in the village include the church of St Laurence (Church of Ireland) with its medieval bell tower. The fine Georgian house where Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu wrote stands at the corner of Park Lane facing Main Street in front of the church. The renovated old RIC barracks on Main Street predates the old Constabulary, serving as an army barracks from the reign of William and Mary.
The Kings House, a Royal Residence built and maintained by and used as an out of town residence by the Viceroy the Duke of Ormond, faced the millrace from the southside of the westbound highway opposite the Mullingar House.
Chapelizod Community Festival is held annually between the 1st and 2nd Sundays in July. First held in 1994, the festival has grown to be one of the highlights of the summer here. The festival is run by volunteers and funded mainly by local business sponsors.
The village is the setting of James Joyce's short story A Painful Case from Dubliners. It is the setting as well as the scene of the home and hostelry of the protagonist Humphrey Chimpden Earwicker, his wife Anna Livia Plurabelle, and their family Shaun, Shem and Issy in Joyce's final major work, Finnegans Wake.
