Johnstown Castle, Gothic Revival castle in County Wexford, Ireland
The castle exhibits Victorian architectural elements with stone facades, pointed arches, and ornate decorative details throughout its multiple towers and wings.
The Esmonde family established the original castle in the 12th century after arriving in County Wexford during the Norman invasion of Ireland in 1169.
The Irish Agricultural Museum within the estate displays a collection of farming machinery, rural artifacts, and traditional equipment from the past century.
Visitors can explore the castle through guided tours, walk the garden trails around two lakes, and enjoy refreshments at the Peacock Café.
An 86-meter underground passageway allowed staff to move between different areas of the castle without being seen by the residents and guests.
