Kilkenny Castle

Kilkenny Castle

Kilkenny Castle was more modern and frilly looking than you’d expect for a Norman castle, as it has been lovingly restored, having been sold to the state for £50 in the 60s by the owners whose family had lived in it for 400 years.

We were shown around by a real ‘drama queen’ character, who took full advantage of having some English to tease. The tour was well worth it, explaining the castle’s history, the family’s history, as well as the trials of restoration, as the place was apparently almost a wreck when sold off.
