An Architectural Masterpiece in Ireland's Capital

Overview

Casino Marino is one of Dublin’s well kept secrets – a remarkable architectural accomplishment. The Casino was designed by Sir William Chambers as a pleasure house for James Caulfield, 1st Earl of Charlemont, who named his estate after his favourite city in Italy - Marino.

 

It is one of the finest 18th century neo-classical buildings in Europe. While the Casino, meaning “small house”, looks like a one-room Roman temple from the outside, it surprisingly contains 16 finely decorated rooms on three floors, endlessly rich in subtlety and design. The architectural tricks include faux windows, jib doors, hollow columns and disguised chimneys.

 

Re-opened to the public in 1994, the Casino is a unique building – both in terms of structure and history. Discover the secrets of this remarkable building – a visit to The Casino will reveal the many clever architectural illusions created by its architect and builder.

 

Please note that Casino Marino is currently closed for maintenance until further notice.
