The Custom House is one of the most stunning neoclassical buildings on the north bank of the Liffey and is a telling example of Irish history. A neoclassical 18th-century building, today the Custom House is home to an Irish Government Department.
Originally designed by James Gandon in 1781, it was burnt down during the War of Independence in 1921 by the Irish Republican Army in an attempt to disrupt British rule in Ireland. It was later restored by the Irish Free State Government.
Today the Custom House is home to an Irish Government Department.
