Russborough House

Palladian house near Blessington, County Wicklow, Republic of Ireland, dating from 1740. It is the longest house in Ireland, with a frontage measuring 210 m/700 ft, and is considered by some the most beautiful. Russborough was built for the 1st Earl of Milltown by Richard Castle and is regarded as his finest creation. It remains virtually unaltered since its construction and has the finest stucco decorated rooms in Ireland. The plasterwork of the staircase area is particularly ornate.
