The Loft in Birr

09/03/2025: Our family had the pleasure of taking a guided tour of Birr Castle as part of the special events for Astronomy Week in Ireland. It was an incredible experience—both inspiring and deeply informative. Seeing the Leviathan and the modern radio telescopes up close was truly impressive, offering a fascinating glimpse into the past and present of astronomical discoveries. As mathematicians and a physicist, we especially appreciated the passion and expertise of our guide, who brought history and science to life with a vivid and engaging narrative. Their enthusiasm and deep knowledge made the experience even more memorable. Birr Castle is a must-visit for anyone interested in science, history, or simply breathtaking surroundings. Highly recommended!
