With a history dating back to 1180, Kilkea Castle captures the mystical charm of a 12th Century majestic Castle with the overwhelming allure of timeless sophistication and style. After a major renovation that redefines luxury, Kilkea Castle is delighted to welcome you.

Located in Castledermot, an hour away from Dublin, along Ireland's Ancient East and set on 180 acres of its own wonderful woodland, gardens and golf course, Kilkea Castle enchants from the moment you drive down the beech-lined avenue overlooking the Killeshin Hills, only minutes from the ancient Mullaghreelan Woods.

Kilkea Castle has a long history of delivering fairytale Weddings. However, the Castle is also the perfect choice for a family gathering or corporate retreat. Imagine yourself as King or Queen while enjoying your very own Irish Castle!
