Tullyneally Castle

Tullyneally Castle

Tullyneally Castle is located in County Westmeath, Ireland, and is a grand country house. This Gothic-style castle features 120 rooms and has been the property of the Earl of Longford — the Pakenham family — for over 350 years.

The castle was originally built in the 17th century as a fortified house, later converted into a Georgian-style residence, and then transformed into its current Gothic Revival style by the second Earl of Longford in the early 19th century. Today, the Pakenham family still resides here, making it one of the largest private castles in Ireland. Inside, parts of the castle feature Georgian architecture, while others showcase the Gothic Revival style, housing a collection of fine furniture and paintings. Visitors can explore its lavish Victorian kitchen and laundry rooms.

Nowadays, Tullyneally Castle is surrounded by 12 acres of beautiful gardens, which include woodland and walled gardens laid out in the early 19th-century style, along with artificial marble caves and a lake. Recently, a Chinese garden with a pagoda and a Tibetan garden featuring a waterfall and stream have been added to the grounds, offering a uniquely Chinese ambiance.
