The iron and glass building, a magnificent reconstruction of a structure originally used to house the Dublin International Exhibition in 1865, stands proudly against the backdrop of a serene lake. The Connaught Hall, with its impressive great organ, is the centerpiece of the palace, where visitors gathered for concerts and musical performances. The transept of the palace, with its intricate design and beautiful stained glass windows, adds to the overall grandeur of the venue.
