The most celebrated structure on the campus, which was founded by Queen Elizabeth in 1592, is the Old Library. Some have called the library’s main chamber, known as the Long Room, a “cathedral of the book” because of its timbered barrel-vaulted ceiling and shelving that resembles side chapels of an old baroque church. The Long Room is also wher the famous Book of Kells (an illuminated holy manuscript circa 800) is kept under lock and key.
该校是英国女王伊丽莎白一世于1592年下令兴建的，校内最闻名的建筑物是老图书馆。有人将这座图书馆的大厅，也就是众所周知的长屋，叫做“书籍的教堂”，这是因为其木制拱顶与巴洛克风格老教堂的附属礼拜堂特别相似。长屋也是闻名的《凯尔经》的珍藏之地，这部书籍撰写于公元800年，是有华丽文字装饰的手抄本新约圣经。
