Drimnagh Castle Dublin Photographs

Drimnagh Castle is located on the Long Mile Road, near Walkinstown in South Dublin. Now surrounded by 21st Century suburbia, the medieval castle dates from the 13th century when it was built as a residence for the Anglo-Norman Barnewall family.
 

Occupied continuously up to 1954, the castle was presented by its then owners - the Hatch family, to the Christian Brothers who established a school nearby. A major restoration project was undertaken in 2000 with government assistance through the FAS training agency & many of the castle's original interior and exterior features including the 17th century gardens have since been restored.
 

The interior of Drimnagh Castle has also featured in the John Boorman movie Excalibur & in the 2007 television series "The Tudors".
