Kilkenny Castle

Kilkenny Castle is a majestic 12th century fortress that was the seat of the Butler family for over 600 years. This historic gem impresses with its rich collection of paintings, tapestries and antiques.

The unique interiors, including the Chinese Rest Room with hand-painted wallpaper from the 1820s and the Picture Gallery with precious Decius Mus tapestries designed by Rubens, will transport you back in time.

A Moorish staircase adorned with stone sculptures of animals and extensive formal gardens around a central fountain complete this remarkable historical experience.
