Ardbraccan House (known sometimes historically as Ardbraccan Palace) is a large Palladian country house in County Meath, Ireland. The historic house served from the 1770s to 1885 as the residence of the Church of Ireland Lord Bishop of Meath. ==Construction== Ardbraccan itself had been the location of the residence of a bishop for over one thousand years, first of the ''Bishop of Ardbraccan'' and later following the merger of many small dioceses into the Diocese of Meath as the residence of the Bishop of Meath. By the Middle Ages a large Tudor house, containing its own church, known as ''St. Mary's'', stood on the site. However in 1734 Bishop Arthur Price (1678-1752) decided to replace the decaying mansion with a new Georgian residence. Initially the two wings of the house were built, before the main four-bay two-storey block of the house was completed in the 1770s by Bishop Maxwell. It was partly designed by the acclaimed 18th-century German architect Richard Castle (''also known as Richard Cassels)'' was the architect of many notable Irish buildings including Leinster House in Dublin.
