The Tholsel, Dublin
The Tholsel was an important building in Dublin, Ireland which combined the function of civic hall, guildhall, court, gaol and even for a period acted as parliament house from 1641-48. In its final form, it was located on Skinners Row within the old city walls of Dublin, Ireland. It existed in various forms from after the Norman invasion of Ireland until it was finally demolished around 1809 and was one of the most important and imposing buildings in medieval Dublin. It was a secular and commercial focal point within the city walls situated at a major crossroads close to Dublin Castle, St Patrick's Cathedral and Christchurch Cathedral. It was the one of several tholsels which were constructed in the major cities and towns of medieval Ireland and the Dublin tholsel also housed the first public clock in Ireland on its tower from 1466.
