Barretstown Castle, Medieval castle in Ballymore Eustace, Ireland
The stone castle features a distinctive red door and stands within an estate that includes landscaped gardens and an artificial lake in County Kildare.
Originally documented in 1547 as property of the Archbishop of Dublin, the castle belonged to the Borrowes family for over 200 years until 1918.
The castle now functions as Barretstown Camp, providing recreational programs and support services for children affected by serious medical conditions.
Located 53 kilometers from Dublin, the castle operates year-round hosting therapeutic recreation programs through medical and volunteer staff supervision.
Elizabeth Arden acquired the property in 1962 and painted the entrance door red, matching her signature perfume brand color scheme.
