Lissadell House, Neo-classical country house in County Sligo, Ireland.
Lissadell House comprises a nine-bay, two-storey limestone structure featuring Greek Revival architecture with finely jointed ashlar walls and a pedimented central projection.
The Gore-Booth family constructed this estate between 1830 and 1835, replacing a 13th-century structure on lands granted to Sir Paul Gore in the early 1600s.
Sisters Constance and Eva Gore-Booth, who grew up in this house, became influential figures in Irish nationalism and poetry, inspiring William Butler Yeats.
The estate opens for guided tours, hosts concerts, and includes maintained gardens where visitors can explore the historical rooms and architectural details.
The mansion stands as the final example of Greek Revival architecture constructed in Ireland, featuring Ballysodare limestone throughout its structure.
