Powerscourt House and Gardens

Ostentatious Powerscourt House is designed to awe the visitor. Previously a mediaeval castle, the 1st Viscount Powerscourt wanted to assert his importance and had the house and estate built in 1741. Powerscourt continues to ‘wow’ visitors today as one of Ireland’s most beautiful mansions and most visited tourist attractions. 47 acres of manicured gardens and ornamental ponds (ranked 3rd best garden in the world by National Geographic) are set before a backdrop of Great Sugarloaf Mountain and complete the visit.
