Open House Dublin, in its 19th year, allows public access to normally restricted buildings while celebrating the city’s architectural heritage through talks and events.
Kilmainham Mill, a historic site dating back to the 1650s, will open its doors, showcasing industrial artifacts and remnants of Dublin’s textile and flour production, including old machines and preserved textiles.
Acquired by Dublin City Council in 2018 after ceasing production in 2008, Kilmainham Mill is being transformed into a cultural space, with public tours meant to help share its story and history.
This year’s festival emphasizes accessibility, attracting interest, with up to 40,000 attendees expected to learn about Dublin’s architecture and boost civic pride through various activities running until October 20.
