The Casino at Marino is a Neo-Classical summer or pleasure house, originally located in the grounds of Marino House in Dublin, Ireland. Sometimes described as a folly, it was designed by Scottish architect William Chambers and executed by Simon Vierpyl for James Caulfeild, 1st Earl of Charlemont, starting in the late 1750s and finishing around 1775.
Although proud of the design, Chambers was never able to visit the completed building, as he was constantly employed in England.
