Powerscourt is situated in the mountains of Wicklow and was originally completed in the year 1300. It passed to many families and underwent many renovations throughout the centuries. In 1974, a major renovation took place inorder to open the house to visitors. But in November there was a fire that left the main part of the house a roofless shell. And what remains is the most interesting stonework dating back to the 16th century. So the following pictures are what remains and is opened for visitors to enjoy. I've been to many wonderfully old homes and Castles but found this one so interesting because I was able to view the way it was built and the materials used to build it.
