About Luttrellstown Castle …
History
Set on over 500 acres of rolling Irish countryside just outside Dublin, Luttrellstown Castle is steeped in centuries of history, romance, and iconic Irish legacy.
Originally built in the early 15th century, the castle was home to the influential Luttrell family for more than 300 years. In the early 1900s, the estate was purchased by the legendary Guinness family, adding another chapter to its remarkable story. Under their ownership, the castle became known for elegant entertaining, refined restoration, and hosting high-profile guests, a tradition that continues today.
Over the years, the castle has evolved into the stunning private estate it is now, balancing historic grandeur with warmth, charm, and an unmistakable sense of occasion.
