Powerscourt estate in County Wicklow, Ireland, has a history that goes back to the 13th century, when a castle was first erected on the land.
Since then Powerscourt has been altered, added to, suffered a tragic fire, and been regenerated as a destination for visitors to savor. An elegant stone structure surrounded by a beautifully landscaped 47-acre garden, Powerscourt can be characterized as the Versailles of Ireland.
A short and scenic drive from Dublin, Powerscourt contains a café, shops, and a ballroom where weddings take place. Yet it is outdoors where the true majesty and romance of the property is most apparent.
The closest hotel to Powerscourt estate is the opulent The Ritz-Carlton, Powerscourt, County Wicklow, which opened in 2007.
