Description:

Located on a five-acre island within gardens and an arboretum, Temple Mills House (built c. 1785) is a gentrified miller’s house connected to mill buildings, a mill wheel and workers cottages located in Celbridge, County Kildare. The property is of particular significance due to the survival of a mill race which pre-dates the house that was erected with cut stonework and is controlled by two working sluice gates. Lying within the gardens is a five-bay cast-iron pedestrian bridge erected across the mill race which is considered to be of Scottish origin and to have been assembled on site.

Grants Awarded:
