Swiss cottage, Cahir

Swiss cottage, Cahir

, famous for designing many Regency buildings.

Cahir, alternately spelt: Cahier, Chaier, Chaierdowneske, Chaer-down-Eske, may have been built by Richard Butler, 12th Baron Caher, 1st Earl of Glengall (1775-1819), who married 1793, Emily Jeffereys, daughter of Blarney Castle. "Milady Cahir" is referred to by Napoleon's Josephine in connection with the Château de Malmaison.

After some years of neglect, restoration of the cottage started in 1985. The Swiss cottage opened to the public in 1989.

Similar buildings exist at Burrenwood; Derrymore, Bessbrook, Newry, Co. Armagh (National Trust); and the Petit hameau de la Reine at Versailles.
