Newbridge Estate

Newbridge House is a Georgian mansion built in 1747 for Archbishop Charles Cobbe and designed by architect James Gibbs. The residence sits within 400 acres of wooded grounds and contains original period furnishings and personal objects collected over centuries.

Archbishop Charles Cobbe built the house in 1747 and the Cobbe family kept it for over 200 years. The estate later became a museum open to the public.

The rooms show how wealthy Dublin families lived in the 1700s, with handcrafted furniture and decorations that reflect the daily life of that era. Walking through the spaces reveals how the inhabitants used each room and spent their time here.

The house is open for guided tours Tuesday through Sunday, with free parking available on the grounds. It sits only 10 minutes from Dublin Airport, making it easy to reach for travelers.

The Cabinet of Curiosities on the grounds was assembled in the 1760s and is one of the few surviving collections of its kind. This collection shows how wealthy people of that time preserved their interests and discoveries in objects.
