Titania's Palace

Titania's Palace is a miniature castle that was hand-built in Ireland by James Hicks & Sons, Irish Cabinet Makers who were commissioned by Sir Neville Wilkinson from 1907 to 1922. Wilkinson's daughter Gwendolyn asked her father to make her a house for the little fairies she had seen in the garden beside their home at Mount Merrion House. The palace consists of 18 rooms and salons, which contain hand-carved mahogany furniture. There are 3000 tiny works of art and miniatures from around the world on display inside the palace.
