About
To celebrate European Heritage Open Days 2026, St. John’s Point Lightkeepers’ Houses in County Down will be open on Sunday 13th September from 10:00 to 16:00. This is a free event offering visitors a look inside the houses that once served one of Ireland’s most distinctive lighthouses.
Painted with iconic yellow and black bands, this dramatic coastal location offers insight into maritime history and life at the edge of the sea. Managed by the Irish Landmark Trust, an educational charity dedicated to saving, sharing and sustaining Ireland’s built heritage, the site reflects how distinctive historic buildings—from lighthouses to schoolhouses and castles—can be carefully conserved and brought back into meaningful use.
Please note that access to the Lighthouse tower is not available.
