Full of heritage and charm, the Old School House at Jenkinstown Park has to be seen to be believed.
The Old School House was built in the 1830s by Elizabeth Bryan from Jenkinstown House Estate as a schoolhouse for the children of the tenants on the estate.
Modelled the design on French schools Bryan saw while in school in France, the building was only in use as a school for four years as Bryan died at a young age of 22. The building then became the lodge house for the estate when the new Dinan Bridge was built in 1840.
