ROTHE HOUSE TRUST COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

Rothe House Trust Company Limited By Guarantee is the charitable organisation that manages Rothe House & Garden, a uniquely preserved 16th-century merchant house in the heart of Kilkenny's Medieval Mile. The site comprises three interlinked houses, cobbled courtyards and a walled garden that have been restored to reflect the lifestyle of the influential Rothe family, who lived and worked there between 1594 and 1610.

The Trust offers a range of visitor experiences, including expert-led guided tours that explore the rise and fall of the Rothe family, as well as self-guided tours that allow guests to wander at their own pace through the historic rooms, artefacts and the period-plant garden. Additional services include genealogy research, special exhibitions and seasonal events such as Christmas wreath workshops and the "Traces of Time" exhibition. By providing immersive, educational experiences, Rothe House & Garden brings Ireland's commercial and social history to life for tourists, school groups and heritage enthusiasts alike.
