An illustrated talk by Prof. Tadhg O'Keeffe on the history of the design and construction of Rathfarnham Castle
Rathfarnham Castle is a remarkable building. A huge building by pre-Georgian standards, it is the earliest surviving great house in Ireland from the period around 1600 when the arrival of design ideas from Renaissance Europe began to transform the character of elite domestic architecture on the island. In this lecture, the castle is compared with other buildings of the period in Ireland and England, and the brilliance of its design-conception is discussed.
