An Elizabethan fortified house
An Elizabethan fortified house remodelled in the 18th century, it has fine 18th century interiors. It was built for Adam Loftus, a Yorkshire clergyman and politician. Loftus was ambitious and eventually rose to become Archbishop of Dublin and Lord Chancellor of Ireland. In the late eighteenth century, the house was remodelled on a splendid scale employing some of the finest architects of the day including Sir William Chambers and James ‘Athenian’ Stuart. It now hosts a wealth of exhibitions and cultural events.
