Cork City Hall from the balcony of the Clarion Hotel’s Penthouse Suite, Lapps Quay.

Cork Heritage Open Day is a unique event, which is held on the first Saturday of Heritage Week. This year it was on Saturday the 23rd of August.

For one day only, nearly 40 buildings opened their doors free of charge for this special event. Members of the public were allowed a glimpse of some of Cork’s most fascinating buildings ranging from the Medieval to the Military, the Civic to the Commercial and the Educational to the Ecclesiastical.

In the slideshow below are some images from St. Anne’s Church, Shandon, The Clarion Hotel Penthouse Suite, Lapps Quay, The Masonic Hall, Tuckey St, St. Finbarre’s Cathedral, Bishop St., Elizabeth Fort, Barrack St. and a few random others from around the city.

Many thanks to Cork City Council and the owners of the various buildings.
