Killruddery House And Gardens
Home to the Brabazon Family (the Earls of Meath) since 1618 Killruddery House is the most successful Elizabethan-Revival mansion in Ireland and also one of the earliest. In the 1820s the 10th Earl engaged the fashionable architects of the day - Richard Morrison and his son William - to remodel Killruddery. In the 1950s the house was greatly reduced to its present day proportions, but much of the Morrison's design and architecture still remain.
The approach to the house leads through a French Style 18th Century wrought iron gate into a granite forecourt. The forecourt was designed by Daniel Robertson, the architect principally responsible for the layout of the gardens at Powerscourt.
