Detailed Account of the History, Architecture and Land of Malahide Castle and its Demesne

14 Mar

This assessment of the special character of the Malahide Demesne Architectural Conservation Area was prepared in September 2008 by Lotts Architecture and Urbanism. The study was commissioned by Fingal County Council and its progress was guided by Helena Bergin, Conservation Officer and Fionnuala May, Senior Architect. The statement of character follows the format devised by the Conservation Office of Fingal County Council for other ACAs in the county.

The document contains a detailed account of the location, history and architecture of Malahide Castle and its lands since its construction and up to present day, with images and maps too.
