Emo Court & Parklands received 350,000 visitors in 2022, making it the most visited OPW owned Heritage site in the Midlands Region. It is a quintessential neo-classical mansion, built by the famous architect James Gandon, (Custom House and the Four Courts in Dublin), in 1790. The house is currently being carefully and expertly restored by the OPW and will have new exhibits and displays to explore.
