Reawakening
a Gothic Fantasy
The Grade I Listed Maison Dieu (Dover Town Hall) is undergoing a £10.5m restoration thanks to a £4.27m grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
Once complete in 2025 the Maison Dieu will be permanently open to the public for the first time in its 800-year history.
The project creates a sustainable future for the Maison Dieu, bringing redundant spaces into commercial use, including restoring the Mayor’s Parlour as a holiday let in conjunction with The Landmark Trust, and a unique new café in the Victorian gaol cells!
