Tralee Courthouse

Tralee Courthouse is a judicial building on Ashe Street featuring neoclassical design with a symmetrical front and a six-column portico with Ionic details. Stone steps lead up to the entrance, creating an impressive formal approach to the building.

William Vitruvius Morrison designed this courthouse in 1834 for Kerry's judicial needs. The building later served as a meeting venue for Kerry County Council until 1910.

Two historical cannons from the Crimean War and Indian Rebellion stand on the courthouse steps as memorials to fallen Kerrymen.

The building is easy to access from the street with its open frontage and wide stone steps. Keep in mind this is an active courthouse, so access to interior spaces may be limited.
