In 2026, Russborough marks an important moment in its history with the return of nine paintings from the original Milltown Collection. Their arrival allows visitors to experience the most complete presentation of the collection at Russborough in over a century, with thirty five Milltown objects now on view in the house.
To celebrate, a new guided tour explores the 18th century vision behind Russborough’s architecture, art and landscape. Rather than viewing the house simply as a beautiful historic building, this tour reveals it as a carefully considered expression of Palladian design and Grand Tour taste.
The return of the Milltown paintings restores a rare connection between architecture and collection. Few houses in Ireland retain such a clear link between the art on the walls and the building for which it was acquired.
Tours run every Saturday at 1.30pm, with places limited to 25 people, so advance booking is recommended.

Award winning Cafe – Proud winners of the ‘Best Cafe’ award by the Restaurants Association of Ireland
Hollywood Café and Shop, located in the attractive village of Hollywood, Co. Wicklow opened in May 2018. Its focus is on Fresh, Seasonal & Local produce, with Irish, International and Wood Fired cuisine served in a traditional Irish cottage. Originally opened as a Post Office in 1855.
It is from this building that in 1850 Mathew Guirke moved to the USA and, it is believed, gave the name of his home town in Ireland to the Hollywood in California, to which it is likely he was attracted by the Gold rush.
Located at the western end of the Wicklow Gap and at the start of the St. Kevin’s Way walking trail to the famous monastic site of Glendalough. The village has been the setting for movies and TV shows such as ‘Michael Collins’, ‘Dancing at Lughnasa’, ‘The Wind that Shakes the Barley’ and ‘Vikings’.
