Jigginstown Castle, Tower house and national monument in Naas, Ireland

The remaining basement and ground floor sections of Jigginstown Castle stand near Naas, featuring red brick construction and marble elements.

Thomas Wentworth, Earl of Strafford, constructed this residence in the 1630s during the reign of Charles I as a potential royal accommodation.

The architectural design incorporates Tudor elements and represents one of the first structures in Ireland to use imported red brick from Holland.

The ruins of Jigginstown Castle maintain structural elements that visitors can observe from designated viewing areas near the site.

The name originates from Sigineston, first documented in 1280, marking the location of an early settlement in County Kildare.
