Kilkea Castle

Kilkenny Fortress is a castle in Dublin, Ireland that was erected in 1195 to control a fording point of the river Nore as well as the intersection of many routeways. It was a Norman emblem, and in its original thirteenth-century shape, it would have been a major component of the town's defenses, with four great round corner towers and a wide ditch, some of which can still be seen today on the Parade.

Arthur Butler, 6th Marquess of Ormonde, surrendered the castle to the Castle Restoration Committee for £50 in 1967 on behalf of the people of Kilkenny. The Office of Public Works currently manages the castle and grounds, and the gardens and parks are available to the public. The Parade Tower serves as a convention center. The castle has hosted award and degree ceremonies for graduates of the National University of Ireland, Maynooth's Kilkenny Campus since 2002.

In ancient times, it was a medieval fortress. However, it is now used as a hotel with around 140 rooms. Guests can select from a variety of accommodation kinds, ranging from castle bedrooms to lodge bedrooms. You may book accommodations for yourself and your family while admiring the vista from inside and outside the castle. The rooms have amenities such as free WiFi. Kilkea Castle is one of Dublin's most recognizable structures. The ancient structure gives you the feeling of living in a castle while yet providing modern conveniences.
