Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | The interior of Kilkenny Castle (Caisleán Chill Chainnigh) features many ornate rooms that largely date to the 19th Century when the castle was extensively renovated by the Butlers of Ormonde whom owned the castle for generations. Though it dates to 1195 under the oversight of Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, much of the current structure’s fabric internally and externally date to the 19th Century. The castle was damaged during the Irish Civil War in 1922, and continued to decline until it was sold by James Arthur Butler, 6th Marquess of Ormonde to the Irish State in 1967, after which extensive restoration work was carried out, bringing the castle back to its 19th Century glory. The interior rooms feature lavish decorations, including fine Chinese wallpaper, marble flooring, a cantilevered staircase, stained glass, and ornately carved furniture and fireplace surrounds. |
