Muckross House

Muckross House Killarney National Park, Muckross, Co Kerry, Ireland

Introduction

Muckross Villa was built in 1843 for Henry Arthur Herbert and his wife. The Tudor-style building has 65 rooms, and its most notable feature is that Queen Victoria of England stayed here for three days in 1861 to alleviate the pain of her husband's death. As the Queen had a strong affinity for Oriental culture, the villa still displays items she left behind, many of which were purchased from China at the time. Located in Killarney National Park, the villa sits by the shore of Killarney Lake, with the backdrop of Ireland's highest mountain, Carrauntoohil.
