About this event
The Irish Georgian Society, in association with the Centre for the Study of Historic Irish Houses & Estates (CSHIHE), University of Maynooth, presents Irish Country House Architecture.
Over nine consecutive weeks, drawing on new research, academics and authors will explore the stylistic development of Ireland’s country houses, and explain who commissioned, designed and built these houses that arguably form the most impressive building typology of Ireland’s architectural heritage.
