Visit The Casino in Marino!

Lying just on the outskirts of Clontarf, is a beautifully historic building over two-and-a-half centuries old. The Casino at Marino has stood the test of time, despite the surrounding landscape changing significantly!

Built in 1759 by James Caulfeild, Lord Charlemont, the Casino at Marino is an 18^th century garden temple designed by renowned architect Sir William Chambers. The Casino (or small house) surprises visitors with its architectural secrets. The lavishly decorated exterior cleverly disguises an interior of intimate rooms displaying intricately ornate Georgian motifs. It is one of Europe's most important neoclassical buildings. Beautifully executed plasterwork and richly patterned marquetry floors act as an historic background to the Casino's past which is lovingly brought back to life by the friendly and knowledgeable guides.
