Russborough

Situated 20 miles from Dublin in the Garden County of Wicklow, Russborough is the finest house in Ireland open to the public. Russborough was built between 1740 and 1750 in the palladian style by Richard Castle (Cassells) with fine stucco ceilings by the Lafranchini brothers.

More than just another big house with fancy Georgian architecture, Russborough contains many treasures well worth exploring. Each beautifully maintained and lavishly furnished room contains a wealth of artwork and antiques, including an extensive collection of paintings from the Beit collection, fine furniture, tapestries, carpets, porcelain and silver.

The Russborough estate is comprised of well-tended gardens and a popular hedge maze, open every day in June, July and August.

If You Go: Russborough is open from April through October. Admission for Adults is €6.00, Students €4.50, and children are €3.00
