Experience Estate Living At Its Finest Killeen Castle is a magnificently restored castle dating back to 1181, set within 600 acres of rolling parkland. The castle was the seat of the Plunkett family, Earls of Fingall, from 1403 until the 1950s. In the early 19th century, the 8th and 9th Earls engaged the services of renowned architects Francis Johnson and later James Sheil, who created the design for the building that stands today. Following a fire in 1981, the castle lay in ruins until 2006 when the exterior was restored by its current owners to create the truly breathtaking castle that now nestles within the lush parkland.
