With such a rich heritage, history and story to tell, a trip to Cobh Heritage Centre- The Queenstown Story - is a must.
This beautiful, informative cultural centre is inventively situated within Cobh's Victorian Railway , a building holding its own historic story.

Everything from the sinking of the Titanic and the Lusitania to the transportation of the forgotten Irish who endured forced labour in Cromwellian times is inventively displayed in a variety of modern, tasteful and artistic ways. Relax , enjoy coffee and bring a memory home from our colourful retail area,
Audio sets available in French, German, Dutch, Italian and Spanish .
