Charleville Castle is considered by many to be the best example of neo-gothic architecture in Ireland, having been designed by Francis Johnston for the Earl of Charleville, Charles William Bury in 1798, an eventful and turbulent year in Irish history. Located in the heart of, what is still today, one of the last surviving primordial oak woods of Ireland, it took 14 years to build, with each addition becoming more elaborate than the last. With dual grand staircases and fabulously ornate plaster ceilings including a William Morris stencilled ceiling in the dining-room which luckily survives to this day. Charleville Castle, featured in many great movies, is a voluntary community heritage & culture project.
