Mount Congreve, 18th-century country house in County Waterford, Ireland.

Located near Kilmeaden, Mount Congreve House stands on a Georgian estate overlooking the River Suir, with seventy acres of woodland gardens and a four-acre walled garden.

Local architect John Roberts designed and built the mansion in 1760 for John Congreve, who served as High Sheriff of County Waterford at that time.

The estate holds three thousand different trees and shrubs, making it one of the largest private plant collections in Ireland with numerous Rhododendrons and Camellias.

Visitors enter through the main house to access interpretative spaces before reaching the North Terrace, which leads to extensive garden paths and walkways.

The Mount Congreve Library contained a collection of books featuring special bookplates with the combined arms of Congreve and Ushers families until 2012.
