About Tara's Palace

Tara's Palace is a magnificent Dolls House on view in Malahide castle. It is built to one-twelfth scale and consists of 25 state and private rooms featuring mini paintings from Irish artists and furniture masterpieces . Ron and Doreen McDonnell commenced work on the mini mansion in 1980 and work is still ongoing today.

The display also includes several other dolls houses, a collection of dolls and antique toys and includes "Portobello", circa 1700, one of the earliest surviving dolls houses from the Collection of Vivien Green, together with a Dolls House from the family of Lady Wilde (Oscar's Mother). This is definitely one sightseeing outing the children will love!

Interesting fact

Tara's palace draws its inspiration from Titania's palace created in 1907 by Sir Neville Wilkinson's (now located at Legoland in Denmark).
