Dangan Castle, Heritage castle ruins in Summerhill, Ireland.
The remaining facade of Dangan Castle stands on a 236-acre estate with tillage land, grassland, and mature woodlands in County Meath.
Field Marshal Arthur Wellesley, who became the Duke of Wellington and defeated Napoleon at Waterloo, spent his childhood years at Dangan Castle.
The Wesley family maintained this important estate from the time of Henry II of England until Richard Wellesley sold it to Thomas Burrowes.
The castle site is located 2 kilometers from Summerhill village, 8 kilometers from Trim, and 40 minutes from Dublin Airport by car.
A 26-acre lake once graced the grounds during the ownership of Richard Wesley, who invested substantial resources in garden development.
