The Bishop's Palace Armagh
The Bishop's Palace Armagh, Grade A listed building in Armagh, Northern Ireland.
The Bishop's Palace stands on 300 acres of parkland, featuring a Neo-Classical design with seven bays across and four bays deep over three floors.
Archbishop Richard Robinson commissioned the construction of this residence in 1770, as he found the existing accommodation on English Street insufficient for his needs.
The palace served as the primary residence for Church of Ireland Archbishops until 1975, representing the ecclesiastical authority in the region.
The building contains preserved architectural elements from different periods, including Georgian windows, decorative cornices, and original interior features requiring special maintenance permissions.
The Rokeby Obelisk within the palace grounds reaches 113 feet in height and was constructed during 1782 to provide employment during economic hardship.
