Georgina Campbell
Swiss Cottage is a delightful 'cottage orné' or ornamental cottage situated on an elevated site and built in the early 1800s by Richard Butler, 1st Earl of Glengall to a design by the famous Regency architect John Nash.
It was originally part of the estate of Lord and Lady Cahir, and used for entertaining guests. Its interior contains a graceful spiral staircase and some elegantly decorated rooms.
The wallpaper in the Salon manufactured by the Dufour factory is one of the first commercially produced Parisian wallpapers.
