Kilkenny's tourist office is located in the restored Shee Alms House in the centre of the city. This former 16th- century almshouse was first founded in 1582 by Sir Richard Shee to accommodate "twelve poor persons in the city" and is now the focal point for walking tours and any other information you may require about Kilkenny city or county. Shee Alms House also hosts the City Scope Exhibition, a miniature sound-and-light recreation of the city in 1642.
