Powerscourt Estate

Powerscourt Estate is located in County Wicklow, and is noted for its gardens covering 47 acres. The house was originally a 13th century castle but redone extensively during the 18th century by a German architect Richard Cassels. It's renovations took from 1731 to 1741, and the building caught fire in 1974 until it was renovated again in 1996. The complex has multiple fountains, a tower, a japanese garden, and even a pet cemetery...thats right...a pet cemetery...
