Woodstown House, Historical manor in Waterford, Ireland
Woodstown House is a manor in County Waterford featuring Regency-style architecture with a distinctive U-shaped layout. The main residence rises two stories across three bays, with a seven-bay service wing extending to the northwest.
The residence was built in 1823 by architect George Richard Pain, incorporating design elements from an earlier 1720s structure on the site. This combination of two building periods created the classical mansion that stands today.
The estate gained notable recognition when Jacqueline Kennedy and her children stayed at the property during their visit to Ireland in 1967.
The property sits near the River Suir in a rural setting with convenient road access from the surrounding area. The location offers views across the river landscape and provides a peaceful countryside setting for visitors.
Archaeological digs in 2003 uncovered Viking settlement remains beneath the property, which led to the site being designated as a national monument. This discovery revealed that the land had been inhabited for over 1000 years.
