I thought this place was nuts when I came across it...but hey...your in Ireland.

A Hindu-Gothic gate lodge dating from around 1830 is the only one of its kind in the country.
Originally built of wood and papier maché to greet the owner of Dromana Estate,
Henry Villiers-Stuart and his wife, Thersia Pauline Ott of Vienna on returning from
their honeymoon in 1826. The couple were so enchanted with it that they had it
reconstructed in more durable materials.
