Kilkenny - Rothe House

 
On Parliament Street in Kilkenny going southwards from St Francis's Friary, Rothe House is worth visiting, an Elizabethan merchant's house built in 1594 around two courtyards (restored 1966). It is now the headquarters of the Kilkenny Archaeological Society, with their library and museum. On the opposite side of the street is the Court House (1794).

The house consists of museum exhibits, a period costume collection and a genealogical study center.
