Waterford medieval Museum Hotel
The Bishop’s Palace will be a museum of Waterford from 1700 to the 20th century and will give visitors a wonderful insight into the history of what was up to 1750s, Ireland’s second city. The gardens which will surround the Bishop’s Palace are based on a design by the celebrated gardener Diarmuid Gavin. Waterford city boasts the finest collection of 18th century architecture of any city in Ireland outside of Dublin, and its great legacy from the period is its elegant architecture, silverware and of course fine glassmaking.
This period of elegance began in Waterford in 1741 when the Anglo-German architect Richard Castles designed the wonderful Bishop’s Palace. Castles built the Palace with its front overlooking the town wall which he had reduced in height so that it formed part of the palace’s terraced garden. Today Richard Castles is celebrated as one of Ireland’s greatest architects having designed most of the great houses of Ireland including the seat of the Irish parliament, Leinster House in Dublin.
