Swiss cottage, Cahir
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Built around 1810 in the surroundings of the village of Cahir in County Tipperary (Ireland), the Swiss cottage is a fine example of cottage orné, or ornamental cottage. The cottage was originally part of the estate of Lord and Lady Cahir, and used for entertaining guests. The cottage was probably designed by John Nash (architect), famous for designing many Regency buildings.
After some years of neglect, restoration of the cottage started in 1985. The Swiss cottage opened to the public in 1989.
