Wicklow Gaol, located in Wicklow town, Ireland, is a historical prison that dates back to the late 18th century. It served as a place of incarceration for over 200 years, from 1702 until its closure in 1924. The gaol has a somber history, having housed prisoners during times of famine, rebellion, and civil unrest. Today, it operates as a museum, offering visitors an immersive experience with exhibits that include life-sized mannequins, audio-visual presentations, and guided tours that recount the stories of former inmates and the harsh conditions they endured.
