The Rossmore Mausoleum is built on a rocky outcrop over a small river and waterfall. It is described by the 5th Baron Rossmore in his autobiography “Things I Can Tell” as "so beautifully situated that it may well be said to make one fall in love with Death". The Mausoleum and adjoining graveyard is hidden in Brown’s Wood in the midst of Rossmore Forest Park, Monaghan. The building was designed by E.J. Tarver for the 4th Baron Rossmore who died after a hunting accident at Windsor Castle in 1874 aged 23. After years of neglect & vandalism the building was in a very poor state of repair. A conservation group was formed in 2008 and has successfully repaired the terracotta tiled roof & and re-pointed the dome. This conservation work is ongoing as can be seen from the photograph. The group is intending to include the restoration of the windows in the next phase of work. Unfortunately only a few fragments of glass remain and very little detail is known, the group would welcome any information or pointers as to the original design.

Rossmore mausoleum built in 1876, now vacant. Closed behind fence, as it's been vandalised for years. Some restoration work seems to be going.
