Castlebar Courthouse
Castlebar Courthouse is a judicial facility on The Mall in Castlebar, County Mayo, Ireland.History
The building, which was designed by George Papworth in the Neoclassical style, was completed in 1822. It was rebuilt to a design by George Wilkinson in 1860. It was originally used as a facility for dispensing justice but, following the implementation of the Local Government Act 1898, which established county councils in every county, it also became the meeting place for Mayo County Council. The county council moved to County Hall in 1989. By then the courthouse had fallen into a state of disrepair and, after an extensive programme of refurbishment works, it was re-opened in 2004.
