Birr Castle is a large privately owned castle which is the home of the 7th Earl of Rosse and his family so much of the residential areas of the castle are not open to the public. However the grounds and gardens are and this includes the on site science museum and café. Not any science museum though it is actually Ireland's Historic Science Centre. Here is also a reflecting telescope which was at one stage the largest in the world called the Leviathan. All in all it is very impressive, if you have the time go and see and visit.
