Johnstown Castle

About

Explore painstakingly restored rooms of Johnstown Castle Estate, where features including crystal chandeliers, exquisite wood panelling, and Gothic arched windows give you a powerful sense of times past.Learn what life was like ‘below stairs’ for the castle’s staff, and step inside Johnstown’s remarkable 86-metre servants’ subterranean passageway, which kept the castle’s busy workers out of view of the gentry!

Visitors of all ages enjoy the displays of restored tractors, carts, ploughs, threshing machines, stationary engines, and dairy equipment, as well as our collection of country kitchens at the Irish Agricultural Museum at Johnstown Castle Estate.

The 4-acre walled gardens and hothouses, which were originally laid out between 1844 -1851, are being painstakingly restored by Head Gardener Ciarán Fitzgerald and our enthusiastic team of over 100 local volunteers, so they can be enjoyed by locals and visitors throughout the seasons for centuries to come.

Call in to the Peacock Café after exploring the castle, museum, and gardens to enjoy great coffee, light meals, and delicious treats.
