Kilkenny's Must-See Treasures

Kilkenny, known as the Marble City, features a dense concentration of medieval landmarks and cultural hubs. This selection includes the 17th-century Rothe House merchant complex, the 13th-century St. Mary’s Church—now the Medieval Mile Museum—and the expansive fifty-acre parkland surrounding Kilkenny Castle. The city's heritage is further reflected in the 18th-century architecture of Butler House, the industrial history of the Smithwick’s Brewery site, and the contemporary Irish design showcased at the National Craft Gallery.
