The House on The Wrong Side of The Border
This abandoned house and caravan can be found in the lush green fields of rural Ireland and just a stone’s throw away from the border with Northern Ireland. Judging by the contents of this home, we think the previous occupants would have preferred if their property was located on the other side of the border!
The Art Deco “Cult” House
Nestled in the heart of a little hamlet, this Art Deco complex sits in stark contrast to the traditional Irish homes nearby. Referred to as the “Cult House” locally, this complex makes multiple references to the female genitalia from the windows right down to the fireplaces.
Táin Holiday Village
Táin Holiday Village was built by Robert Walker Greer, a local landowner who also commissioned The Quay to help develop Carlingford Lough’s fishing industry.
