Luggala, Mountain estate and summit in County Wicklow, Ireland
The Luggala estate spans 5,000 acres with a Gothic-style lodge near Lough Tay lake, marked by steep granite cliffs and dense woodlands.
Ernest Guinness purchased Luggala in 1937 as a wedding gift for his daughter Oonagh, establishing the property's long connection with the Guinness family.
The estate served as a filming location for major productions including Braveheart and Vikings, where it represented the fictional village of Kattegat.
Access to the estate requires permission, with designated walking paths leading to the 595-meter summit offering views across County Wicklow.
The dark waters of Lough Tay lake against white sand beaches create a distinct visual pattern reminiscent of Ireland's famous stout.
