Go on a journey with Robert O’Byrne as he brings fascinating
Irish ruins to life. Fantastical, often whimsical, and frequently
quirky, these atmospheric ruins are beautifully photographed and
paired with fascinating text by Robert O’Byrne. Born out of
Robert’s hugely popular blog, The Irish Aesthete, there are
Medieval castles, Georgian mansions, Victorian lodges, and a myriad
of other buildings, many never previously published. Robert focuses
on a mixture of exteriors and interiors in varying stages of decay,
on architectural details, and entire scenarios. Accompanying
texts tell of the Regency siblings who squandered their entire
fortune on gambling and carousing, of an Anglo-Norman heiress who
pitched her husband out the window on their wedding night, and of
the landlord who liked to walk around naked and whose wife made him
carry a cowbell to warn housemaids of his approach. Arranged
by the country’s four provinces, the diverse ruins featured offer
a unique insight into Ireland and an exploration of her many styles
of historic architecture.
