Phoenix Park Visitor Centre – Ashtown Castle
Dublin, IrelandAbout this experience
Ashtown Castle is a tower house that probably dates from the seventeenth century, but may be as early as the fifteenth.
For years it was completely hidden within the walls of a Georgian mansion once occupied by the under-secretary for Ireland. When that house was demolished in the late 1980s, the castle was rediscovered.
It has since been fully restored and now welcomes visitors.
