Lucan Manor

Lucan Manor is a Georgian house in Lucan with formal gardens and classical architectural features from the 18th century. The grounds include multiple buildings and open spaces that reflect the design principles of the period.

The estate was first recorded in 1272 as a land grant to Norman lords and later passed to the Sarsfield family. The current Georgian structure was built later and shaped by different owners over the centuries.

The manor displays Georgian architectural style and served as a gathering place for the Irish aristocracy. Visitors can see the formal rooms that hosted important social events during the 18th century.

The estate is located west of Dublin and is accessible via main roads. Visitors should plan ahead as access depends on opening times and special events.

From 1954 to 2023 the estate served as the official residence of the Italian ambassador to Ireland. This long connection with Italy is a surprising chapter in its modern history that many visitors overlook.
