St Michael's Estate, Inchicore, Dublin 8, D08 YY05
Built in 1810 in response to the threat of a French invasion in the Napoleonic Wars, Richmond Barracks was one of the British Army’s largest barracks in Dublin at the time.
In 2016, major refurbishment works were completed on Richmond Barracks as part of a Dublin City Council Community Partnership to restore and commemorate the heritage of the building. You can find out more about the refurbishment in the video below.
Today, visitors can experience walking tours that chart the history of the local area and the building as a military barracks, a significant site of the 1916 Rising, and as a cornerstone of a Dublin community.
Richmond Barracks is now also home to a library, garden, and Culture Connects, a programme of cultural activities that celebrate the experiences and interests of the local communities and people.
Richmond Barracks is owned by Dublin City Council and run by Dublin City Council Culture company.
