History & Architecture

Welcome to Fota House, Arboretum and Gardens. The House was taken into care of the Irish Heritage Trust in December 2007 and has gone through tremendous change ever since. The house re-opened to the public in April 2009 after a major restoration project undertaken by the Trust during the winter of 2008/9. The Trust is proud that this architectural masterpiece and treasure house of art can now be enjoyed and celebrated by everyone.
