County Kilkenny – POA
One of Ireland’s most beautiful houses The Castletown Estate (also known as Castletown Cox) is the masterpiece of Sardinian architect Davis Ducart, also famed for the Limerick Custom House and Kilshannig in Co. Cork.
A prime example of the Palladian tradition in Ireland, Castletown is a variant of William Wynde’s Buckingham House.
Extending to in excess of 36,000 sq. ft. in its entirety, the interiors of Castletown are equally as impressive as the exterior with rich Rococo plaster decoration throughout by famed stuccodore Patrick Osborne of Waterford.
The Estate extends to 513 acres, and at its heart are the beautiful, formal gardens designed by the Dowager Marchioness of Salisbury, a woman once described by the New York Times as ‘Britain’s high priestess of historic garden design’.
