Castleknock, Residential suburb in Fingal, Ireland
Castleknock occupies a strategic position between Dublin city center and Phoenix Park, with extensive residential areas and commercial facilities across multiple townlands.
The Norman conquest in 1171 led to the establishment of Castleknock as a feudal barony, granted to Hugh Tyrrel who constructed a defensive castle.
The area contains both Protestant and Catholic religious buildings, including St Brigid's Church of Ireland and two Catholic parishes serving different sections.
Dublin Bus operates regular services connecting Castleknock to central Dublin, with multiple educational institutions and shopping facilities in the vicinity.
Two ancient holy wells remain in the area: a rag well in Diswellstown and another dedicated to St Brigid near the Church of Ireland.
