Kilkenny Castle, Kilkenny City
Guide Price: €15,000,000

Sweeny Auctioneers is proud to present this exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire the freehold of Kilkenny Castle, one of Ireland’s most significant and historic landmarks dating back to 1195.

This remarkable property is coming to market for the first time in decades, following a decision by the current institutional owners to divest selected heritage assets. The castle and grounds are being offered with sitting tenants including the Office of Public Works, providing immediate rental income and long-term development potential.

Originally built by William Marshal, 4th Earl of Pembroke, Kilkenny Castle has been sympathetically restored to preserve its medieval character while offering modern amenities throughout its impressive 5,110 square metres of interior space set on 50 acres of parkland and gardens.

Key Features:

Freehold of an iconic 12th century Norman stone castle

50 acres of mature parkland and ornamental gardens

Established tourism destination with 800,000+ annual visitors

Long-term tenancy agreement with government body

Significant picture collection and period furnishings included

Multiple function rooms, galleries and event spaces

Exceptional investment opportunity with heritage tax benefits
