| Address: | Montpelier Hill (Dublin Mountains) |
Name given to a ruined building that sits near the summit of Montpelier, a hill in the Dublin Mountains. It was built around 1725 by William Conolly, the speaker of the Irish House of Commons. Believed to have been constructed as a hunting lodge (the grounds comprised a 1,000 acre (4 km²) deer park), the building acted as a viewpoint for Conolly's mansion at Castletown House, Celbridge.
