Rothe House

Frommer's Review

This is a typical middle-class house from the Tudor period. Originally a merchant's home, built in 1594, it consists of three stone buildings divided by cobbled courtyards. It has an arcaded shop front and a remarkable timber ceiling. Purchased in 1961 by the Kilkenny Archeological Society, it was restored and opened to the public. Inside is a museum of sorts, filled with artifacts and period costumes. A family history research service for Kilkenny city and county has its offices here.
