The Medieval Mile Museum is located in the restored and retrofitted St Mary's Church Building, with it's Graveyard complex retained alongside. While the Church is a fine example of the medieval Renaissance style, the interiors widely adapt to a modern style of display. The Museum parades a fine collection of Kilkenny's historic remains, and demonstrates the City's prime role in Medieval history. With the ornate works of the bygone era, the Museum is an epicentre of art and culture in the City.

One of the finest English Renaissance buildings in Kilkenny city, this former merchant house was built by John Rothe-Fitzpiers in 1594 and served as the family home for Rothe, his wife and their twelve children. The complex features the restored facades of three houses, each separated by cobbled courtyards. A 17th-century garden occupies part of the house's backyard, which features a fruit orchard and a mini herb garden. Managed by the Kilkenny Archaeological Society, this well-preserved house is an excellent exemplar of post-medieval architecture. It is now home to a variety of artifacts and exhibits that trace the life and history of the city's early inhabitants.
