The Temple of the Winds will be reopening again to visitors every Sunday from 12 July to 27 September. Doors open at 11.30am-3pm, close at 3.15pm.
Positioned on a rise overlooking Strangford Lough, the octagonal Temple of the Winds is an eighteenth century, grade 1 listed building. Originally built as a banqueting hall and eye-catcher for Robert Stewart in 1786, its design is identical to the Tower of the Winds in Athens. James ‘Athenian’ Stuart (1713-1788) designed the Temple. One of the pioneers of neo-Greek architecture in Europe, he saw sketched and measured the original Greek Tower whilst on tour, recreating it here at Mount Stewart. There are three floors including a vaulted basement that leads to a tunnel that held a wine cellar and scullery.
