Ducketts Grove, Gothic Revival ruins in Killerrig, Ireland
The ruins feature numerous towers of varying shapes, including round, square, and octagonal structures, with ornate facades and granite viewing points.
Built in 1745 as a Georgian house, the structure was redesigned in the 1820s by architect Thomas Cobden for John Dawson Duckett's family.
The estate served as the center of local social life, with the Duckett family organizing gatherings that attracted notable guests from Dublin.
The site includes two interconnected walled gardens managed by Carlow County Council, with paths leading visitors through restored historical grounds.
The interior of this 12,000-acre estate was destroyed by fire in 1933, leaving only the external structure standing as a testament to its former grandeur.
