Re: Re: powerscourthouse before the fire

There’s a full set of interior photos in Irish Country Houses and Gardens: From the Archives of Country Life by Sean O’Reilly. And also in Irish Houses and Castles by Desmond Guinness and William Ryan (1971 edition – not the Jacqueline O’Brien one).

And take a look at Stanley Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon in which the saloon at Powerscourt doubles as the interior of a German Baroque palace.

What a tragedy that these interiors were lost. This was one of the most spectacular country house interiors in Ireland.
