A Tour of Ireland’s Romantic Glin Castle

Glin Castle, home to the Knights of Glin, has been in the Fitzgerald family for 800 years. The 400 acre estate is located in West Limerick, Irleand on the banks of the Shannon River, and is one of the last of the great Irish houses to still be lived in by the original family.  In 2015, the family was forced to put the castle up for sale due to the cost of its upkeep. After a two-year search for new owners, Glin Castle was taken off the market and transformed into an exclusive use rental with Catherine Fitzgerald, a landscape architect, becoming the new chatelaine and her husband, actor Dominic West managing the property. Glin Castle is now available for private rental accommodation, events, weddings, golf tours, group castle and garden tours with lunch, and as a film location.  Let’s take a tour with images from House & Garden, The New York Times, Glin Castle, and lastly, a video tour by Catherine and Dominic via Architectural Digest…

It is so wonderful to see this family history of this spectacular castle continue! To learn more about its history, gardens, amenities, and rental opportunities, please visit Glin Castle. And you will want to watch the tour below, conducted by Catherine Fitzgerald and Dominic West…
