Muckross House, Tudor house museum in County Kerry, Ireland.
The mansion contains 65 rooms and stands on a peninsula between Muckross Lake and Lough Leane within Killarney National Park.
William Burn designed this residence in 1843 for the Herbert family, who made extensive improvements before Queen Victoria's visit in 1861.
The mansion exhibits preserved Irish elk antlers in its entrance lobby and maintains traditional craft workshops for pottery, weaving, and bookbinding.
The facility welcomes approximately 120,000 visitors annually and operates a Garden Restaurant alongside a 1920s working farm demonstration.
The estate became Ireland's first National Park in 1933 when William Bowers Bourn and Arthur Rose Vincent presented it to the Irish nation.
