About This Museum

Would you believe this place is said to be one of Ireland's most haunted castles? It’s a proper fairytale fortress, rising out of the ancient oak woods with all its turrets and towers. Inside, you can run your hand along the incredible, spiraling hand-carved stairway and feel the weight of centuries. Every room seems to have a story, from grand ballrooms to the old servants' quarters tucked away.

Collection Highlights

Keep an eye out for the intricate family portraits and the stunning Gothic-revival plasterwork on the ceilings. And of course, everyone asks about the 'naughty' ghost rumored to live in the nursery!

Visitor Information

It's just outside Tullamore in County Offaly—check their website for tour times as they change seasonally. The guides are fantastic storytellers, so a tour is definitely worth it.

Architecture & Building

An early 19th-century neo-gothic castle that looks like it's straight from a storybook, complete with pointy turrets and dramatic towers.
