Rathfarnham Castle

Location

Dublin

History

Image The date of the foundation of the Castle is uncertain, but recent research would suggest 1583 as the most likely date. It was built by Adam Loftus, a Yorkshireman. The Castle has a colourful and interesting history with 18th century interiors by Sir William Chambers and James "Athenian" Stuart and was declared a National Monument in the mid-1980s.

The Castle is presented to visitors as a castle undergoing active conservation. The visitor can see, at first hand, tantalizing glimpses of layers of the Castle's earlier existence uncovered during research. (Conservation works are ongoing at the site).
