Franco-German House Opened
The Franco-German House is the result of a joint-initiative by the departments of French Studies and German Studies at Mary Immaculate College.
It stems from the need to create a space where students of French and German could meet, socialise, speak French and/or German and have access to audio-visual resources in both languages.
Summerville Lodge (built c. 1870) is a protected structure in the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage and under the Limerick City Development Plan. It was inaugurated as the ‘Franco-German House’ by Her Excellency, Mrs Emmanuelle d’Achon, French Ambassador to Ireland and His Excellency, Dr Eckhard Lübkemeier, German Ambassador to Ireland on 28 September 2012.
