Russborough House, Stately home and art museum in County Wicklow, Ireland
The Palladian mansion displays classical Georgian architecture with a 210-meter frontage, ornate plasterwork ceilings, and extensive European art collections throughout its rooms.
Richard Cassels designed the mansion in 1741 for Joseph Leeson, first Earl of Milltown, who acquired artworks during his Grand Tours across Europe.
The Alfred Beit Foundation maintains Russborough House, exhibiting collections of 18th-century silver, Meissen porcelain, and European paintings for public viewing.
The estate offers guided tours through the mansion, access to 200 acres of parkland with walking trails, and views of Blessington Lakes and Wicklow Mountains.
Four separate thefts targeted the mansion's art collection over the years, with stolen masterpieces recovered through international police operations.
