Drehorte für „Twilight Irish“ von Netflix

If you’ve been binge-watching Netflix’s Wednesday and found yourself thinking, “Jaysus, that castle looks familiar,” you’re not going mad - a huge chunk of the show was actually filmed right here in Ireland. Yep, between the moody forests, misty lakes, and grand old buildings that could tell a few ghost stories themselves, the Emerald Isle was the perfect backdrop for the gothic mayhem at Nevermore Academy.

Whether you’re a die-hard Addams Family fan or just nosy about where Netflix films it shows these days, we’ve put together a tour of the Wednesday filming locations in Ireland. From Wicklow to Offaly, we’ll spill the spooky beans on the real places behind the drama. So, grab a raincoat (you’ll need it), and let’s dive into where Wednesday was filmed, and why Ireland was the perfect setting for her dark and twisted school days.

The heart of Wednesday’s urban scenes comes alive in Dublin, where several iconic locations set the stage for the show’s eerie and gothic vibe. Trinity College, one of Ireland’s most prestigious universities, features prominently.

Founded in 1592, Trinity is not just a symbol of academic excellence but also a cultural treasure, home to the legendary Book of Kells and magnificent medieval architecture. Walking through its historic campus is like stepping back in time, making it the perfect backdrop for a show steeped in mystery.

Another memorable location is Deansgrange Cemetery, a place steeped in history and Irish heritage. This haunting site is the final resting place of many notable Irish figures and adds an authentic gothic atmosphere to the show’s narrative. Finally, Clonliffe College, with its impressive Victorian architecture, rounds out the Dublin filming spots, offering a timeless charm that perfectly fits Wednesday’s moody aesthetic.

If you’re planning a trip to Dublin, don’t miss the chance to visit Trinity College. DoDublin's Hop on Hop off Tour drops you right at campus - perfect for your day of exploring. You can easily book your visit via our website and immerse yourself in centuries of Irish history and culture.

Moving south, County Wicklow provides a stunning natural backdrop for Wednesday, with scenes filmed at Powerscourt Estate and Cloragh Woods. Powerscourt is renowned for its magnificent gardens and home, often described as one of Ireland’s finest estates. Its grounds, waterfalls, and elegant architecture make it an ideal location that perfectly compliments the show’s mystical vibe.

For those eager to experience this for themselves, we offer multiple Powerscourt Distillery Tours alongside the Glendalough and Powerscourt House Tour that lets you explore the estate’s breathtaking beauty up close.

The final piece of Wednesday’s Irish filming puzzle is County Offaly, home to the haunting Charleville Castle. This eerie, Gothic castle is a perfect fit for the show’s dark and mysterious tone. Charleville Castle brings an authentic touch of Irish folklore and gothic romance to the screen.

If you find yourself in Offaly, be sure to visit Birr Castle, known for its beautiful gardens and fascinating scientific heritage, or explore the innovative Glasshammer Studios for a modern cultural experience.
