| Powerscourt House and Gardens, located near Enniskerry, County Wicklow, Ireland, is a 68 room country estate.
The house, originally a 13th century castle, was extensively altered during the 18th century by German architect Richard Cassels, starting in 1731 and finishing in 1741. A fire in 1974 left the house lying as a shell until it was renovated in 1996.

 |
| The house and gardens sit on 47 acres. |
 |
| The gardens include an Italian garden, a Japanese garden and a walled garden and include species from around the world. |
 |
| The Monkey Puzzle tree is native to central and southern Chile, western Argentina and southern Brazil. |

| I wanted a photo of the two pegasus flanking the sidewalk on the way to the pond so Jolene walked down to the second patio are to get this photo. |
 |
| I enjoyed the view on the upper patio while she took the Pegasus photos. |
 |
| Jolene found a skinny, circular stairway in the tower and checked out the view from up there. |
