Rothe House is a one-of-a-kind property that has stood in Kilkenny since 1594. It has gone through periods of prosperity and decline until it was purchased by Kilkenny Archaeological Society in 1962 and restored over several years to its former glory. Now we welcome visitors from all over the world who have an interest in history, heritage, genealogy and more. Spend time exploring the house, courtyards and garden with our knowledgeable guides and members of Kilkenny Archaeological Society this Culture Night and discover one of Kilkenny’s hidden gems.
