Westport House is one of Ireland's most beautiful and historic homes. Built in 1730 on the ruins of a former castle of the legendary Irish pirate queen Grace O'Malley and complete with original architecture and antiques. It is still home to her direct descendants, the Eleventh Marquess of Sligo and his family. Within the house there are thirty rooms, entrance halls and dungeons on show, plus three comprehensive exhibitions, including Ireland’s foremost exhibition on pirate queen Grace O’Malley and a waxworks display of Ireland’s leading writers, artists and musicians who visited Westport House.
