Irish Heritage Trust - The Heart of Heritage
The Irish Heritage Trust is an independent charity established in 2006 to serve as Ireland’s national, independent, heritage property organisation.
We took responsibility for our first property, Fota House, Arboretum & Gardens in 2007 and today the property is a key visitor attraction in Ireland’s Ancient East.
In 2015 we started managing Strokestown Park House, Gardens and the National Famine Museum. The Trust was also selected to help revive and regenerate Johnstown Castle Estate, Museum & Gardens.
We have exciting plans for our Dublin headquarters, located in the heart of Dublin’s literary quarter at No. 11 Parnell Square East. In partnership with other cultural and heritage bodies, we have undertaken to restore, revive, and enhance this 250-year old building to become a creative public space, as well as a significant cultural hub.
In 2023 the ESB announced plans to partner with the Irish Heritage Trust to develop No. 12 Fitzwilliam Street as a museum.
