Beaulieu House and Gardens
About this place
Beaulieu House and Gardens () is an estate in Drogheda, County Louth, Ireland. It was once thought to have been built in the 1660s, although later research seems to suggest it was built around 1715 incorporating elements of an earlier structure, and it includes a terraced walled garden. It is located 2 miles (3.2 km) east of Drogheda less than half a mile from the estuary of the River Boyne. It is one of the earliest surviving examples of an unfortified major house built in Ireland, and one of very few of the type built in the Dutch style. A similar surviving example is the Red House in Youghal, which was constructed around 1703.
