Westcourt Callan


Birthplace of Edmund Rice

The thatched house in which Edmund was born on 1 June 1762, is almost 300 years old.

The six roomed house consists of a kitchen, parlour, breakfast room and three bedrooms.

Of particular interest is the bedroom in which Edmund Rice was born.

Come and see how a prosperous farmer's family lived in Edmund Rice's time. Also see the chapel, Icon room and Visitor's Centre.








Westcourt is open throughout the year.

Large groups should contact the Curator in advance.
