Richmond Barracks is a former British Army barracks which was refurbished for cultural and community use by Dublin City Council in 2016. It was originally built in 1810 in response to the threat of a French invasion during the Napoleonic Wars. It was one of the British Army’s largest barracks in Dublin at the time.
