Knockdrin Castle, Gothic Revival castle in Mullingar, Ireland.

The 19,375-square-foot Knockdrin Castle features a central glazed dome, large south-facing windows, and a first-floor gallery with fluted shafts and ogee-headed niches.

Sir Richard Levinge, lord lieutenant of Westmeath County, commissioned the construction of Knockdrin Castle around 1810, establishing it as a significant Gothic Revival structure.

The castle includes reception rooms with carved oak elements, including a grand hall, drawing room, dining room, ballroom, and library for social gatherings.

Located one hour from Dublin by car, the castle stands within a 1,050-acre estate that contains four additional lodges and commercial woodland.

The Crown Bedroom holds historical importance as Winston Churchill stayed there during his childhood while his parents visited the estate for hunting activities.
