Rathfarnham, Residential district in South Dublin, Ireland

Rathfarnham stretches from the initial ridge of Dublin-Wicklow Mountains to the Dodder River, featuring four public parks and multiple educational facilities.

The area originated in 1199 when Milo le Bret established a fortified settlement overlooking a ford across the River Dodder.

The Saint Enda's School, operated by Patrick Pearse prior to 1916, became an educational center that influenced Irish nationalist movements.

The district connects to central Dublin through multiple bus routes and contains extensive road networks linking to neighboring suburbs.

The castle grounds include four historic stable courtyards, with plans to transform 2,700 square meters into retail and hospitality spaces.
