HISTORY & CULTURE

Blackrock House is enriched with a unique history and stands as witness to many important periods in Irish life. At various times the lands were owned by Nano Nagle's uncle and Robert Emett's father.

The original large mansion was built by Christopher Tuckey and enlarged by the Cork Quaker and Merchant Reuben Harvey in 1770 and after whom Harvey's Quay is named. In 1825,the chapel and eastern and western wings were added by the Ursulines.

Harry Clarke and his Studio undertook several commissions at Blackrock House which remain preserved on site to this day. Due to its architectural importance, the original structure of the house is protected. A short distance from the village is Blackrock Castle, which was originally constructed as a coastal defence fortification in the 16th century.

There has been a castle on the site since medieval times with the present structure built in the mid-19th Century in mock-baronial style. It now houses an observatory and planetarium.

House
- The House has a unique character resulting from the quality and ambition of the original 1720s and later 1820s architectural designs.

- Steeped in period features, the buildings offer formal entrance halls, corridors and staircases, but with the benefit of lifts serving all floors.

- Uniquely nestled between park lands and formal gardens to the North and South, most apartments have the benefit of dual aspect views.

Gardens
- landscaped gardens: Approached by a tree-lined avenue and surrounded by a professionally designed landscaping and lighting scheme, residents of Blackrock House also have access through private gates to a unique formal garden square area. With an historic oratory and hedge-lined walkways, this is a uniquely calm and peaceful environment.

- harbour: Blackrock was formerly a fishing village. Later it became a market-garden area serving the city. Today works have begun on creating an open paved plaza area with priority for pedestrians and cyclists.

- park: Plans have been published outlining a new park area to the front of Blackrock House creating a visual link from the House to the revitalised Harbour.
