Westport House was commissioned by John Browne, first Earl of Altamont, to a design (1731) by Richard Castle on the site of the earlier O’Malley tower house in the picturesque landscape of Clew Bay. Other distinguished architects involved in the later improvements to the house included James Wyatt & Benjamin Dean Wyatt. Westport House has recently undergone restoration works to protect the external and internal built fabric under the guidance of Consarc Conservation, a specialist RIAI Grade 1 Accredited practice.
Westport House will provide guided tours of the exterior of the house followed by a tour of the piano nobile level to see interior works.
