History

The historic house of Florence Court  

Florence Court is one of Fermanagh's famous historic houses but also something of a mystery. Although it is one of the most important Georgian houses in Ireland, no building records survive, little is known of its architectural development, and its history is a patchwork of quite often contradictory documentary evidence.
