What a view! Wow! 😍

Built in 1785 as part of the Downhill Demesne, the temple was created by the well-known "Earl-Bishop" as a library, modeled after the Temple of Vesta in Rome. Dedicated to his beloved niece Frideswide, the walls of the temple once housed books, protected by a constant fire in the basement.
Unfortunately, time and coastal erosion have brought the temple closer to the edge, but The National Trust has worked to preserve this historical treasure.

If you ever visit Mussenden Temple, be free to share it in our community of NI!

"Suave, mari magno turbantibus aequora ventis
e terra magnum alterius spectare laborem."
"Tis pleasant, safely to behold from shore
The troubled sailor, and hear the tempests roar."
