The Temple of the Winds, nestled on a rise with sweeping views of Strangford Lough, will welcome visitors every Sunday for an immersive musical experience. Various performers will grace this serene space, enveloping guests in melodies that resonate with the lush surroundings.

The Temple of the Winds will be reopening again to visitors every Sunday from 12 July to 27 September. Doors open at 11.30am-3pm, close at 3.15pm.
Positioned on a rise overlooking Strangford Lough, the octagonal Temple of the Winds is an eighteenth century, grade 1 listed building. Originally built as a banqueting hall and eye-catcher for Robert Stewart in 1786, its design is identical to the Tower of the Winds in Athens. James ‘Athenian’ Stuart (1713-1788) designed the Temple. One of the pioneers of neo-Greek architecture in Europe, he saw sketched and measured the original Greek Tower whilst on tour, recreating it here at Mount Stewart. There are three floors including a vaulted basement that leads to a tunnel that held a wine cellar and scullery.
