Join us on Friday 20th September to celebrate Culture Night 2024.

Take this rare opportunity to visit Rathfarnham Castle after hours. Visitors may take a guided tour or self-guide through this fascinating castle.

Discover original features dating back to the Elizabethan period at the end of the 16th century, and learn about the origins of the building as a ‘fortified house’. View fine 18th century interiors and learn how the building was transformed into a fashionable Georgian villa with rooms designed by Sir William Chambers and James ‘Athenian’ Stuart.

Learn about the different people who once resided here, and the changes in lifestyle over the centuries.
