Lifford Old Courthouse and Visitor Centre
The Old Courthouse in Lifford, Co. Donegal dates back to 1743 and was designed by Michael Priestly. The basement was used as the County Gaol and housed debtors, felons and served as an rudimentary asylum. From 1938 to 1994 the building was partly used by Donegal county library board but had fallen into dereliction. In 1994 it was restored by a local committee. Today it houses an award winning museum and interpretative centre which covers 18th and 19th century Irish history.
