Lifford Courthouse, Neoclassical courthouse in Lifford, Ireland
The Lifford Courthouse features an asymmetrical main façade with eight bays, a central doorway with stone surround, and the coat of arms of George II.
Architect Michael Priestley completed the courthouse in 1746, which included a prison in its basement until a separate facility was constructed in 1793.
The restored building now functions as a visitor center where actors portray historical prisoners during guided tours through the former cells and chambers.
The courthouse offers guided jail tours Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 4:30 PM, with an on-site bistro serving breakfast and lunch daily.
During its active period, the courthouse held notable prisoners including James Napper Tandy and crew members from the French frigate that transported Wolfe Tone.
