St. Patrick's Centre is a Jacobethan-style building located south of Kilkenny City in County Kilkenny, Ireland, originally constructed as an industrial school. The structure exemplifies the Jacobethan architectural style, a nineteenth-century revival that blended Jacobean and Elizabethan design elements. As an industrial school, it would have housed and educated working-class children in trades and practical skills, reflecting the institutional approach to education and social welfare common in Ireland during that era.
