Ashtown Castle
Dublin, Ireland, Ireland
Ashtown Castle is a restored medieval tower house located in Dublin’s Phoenix Park. Believed to date from the 15th century, it was originally built as a fortified residence during a period when small defensive castles were common across Ireland. Remarkably, the castle remained hidden for centuries within the walls of a larger Georgian mansion known as Ashtown Lodge and was only rediscovered when that building was demolished in the late 20th century. After careful restoration, the castle was reopened to visitors and now forms part of the Phoenix Park Visitor Centre, where it offers a glimpse into Dublin’s medieval past and the history of one of Europe’s largest enclosed urban parks.
