Emo Court & Gardens - Co Laois , Ireland
Emo Court was designed by the architect James Gandon in 1790 for the Earls of Portarlington and is a magnificent example of this neo-classical style. It was acquired and extensively restored by Mr
Cholmeley - Harrison in the 1960s. The house is surrounded by beautiful gardens and parkland which
were first laid out in the 18th century and contain formal lawns, a lake and woodland walks. The house and gardens were taken into State ownership in 1994.
