Description
Muckross House - Killarney Ireland - By Douglas Berry. Muckross House is a mansion built in 1843 by William Burn built for Henry Arthur Herbert and his wife. Despite sixty-five rooms, improvements were made in the 1850s in preparation for the visit of Queen Victoria in 1861. It is said that these improvements for the Queen's visit led to financial difficulties for the Herbert family which resulted in the sale of the estate. In 1899 it was bought by Arthur Guinness who wanted to preserve the estate.
