Arguably the finest Elizabethan building in Kilkenny city, this former merchant house was first built by John Rothe-Fitzpiers in 1594 and served as the family home for Rothe, his wife and their twelve children. The complex features the restored facades of three houses, each separated by cobbled courtyards, and is now home to a variety of exhibitions tracing the social history of the city. Kilkenny's Genealogical Research Service is also located here.
