Corravahan House: Survival and Conservation

Informative hourly tours of the historic Georgian-style country house, exploring its rescue, conservation, architecture and history, and its connections to the Beresford and Leslie families.

Dating to 1840, built by a Beresford clergyman, later owned by the Leslie family, and carefully conserved over the past twenty years, Corravahan House retains all of its original period features. This "architectural gem" remains an extraordinarily intact example of Italianate Classical architecture. Corravahan stands as a fitting tribute to the works of William Farrell, some-time architect to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners.

The tour explores the architectural design and development of the house, setting it in the social and political environment inhabited by its wealthy owners.

The tour will be followed by access to the surrounding pleasure gardens. Tours on the hour, with telephone or email pre-booking recommended. Last admission one hour before closing.

Corravahan House is a member of Historic Houses of Ireland.
