Enniskerry
Enniskerry is a planned estate village dating from the 1840s, with the original buildings designed in a neo-Tudor style.
The Protestant population of the village attended church in the grounds of the Powerscourt Demesne until 1859.
Mervyn Wingfield, 7th Viscount Powerscourt built a new church, Saint Patrick's, in the village which was completed two years later, in 1861. This coincided with an extensive renovation programme that also established the Italian gardens at Powerscourt.
The Viscount Powerscourt claimed the old church following the disestablishment of the Church of Ireland by the Irish Church Act 1869.
The consequences were that only those with a right to be buried next to the old church within the Demesne could claim these rights thereafter.[5]
Powerscourt Estate, comprising a large house and gardens today occupying 47 acres (190,000 m2), is located near the town and is a popular visitor attraction.
The extensive formal gardens form the grounds of an 18th-century Palladian house, designed by Richard Cassels, which was destroyed by fire in 1974, and lay as a shell until extensive restorations were carried out in 1996.
Powerscourt Waterfall in the grounds of the estate, at 121 metres, is the highest waterfall in Ireland. Thanks to wikipedia
