| Description | This is Kilkenny Castle, also known as Caisleán Chill Chainnigh, which was built starting in 1195 to control a ford on the River Nore, and was completed in 1213, originally including a large wall that enclosed the entire town of Kilkenny. The structure was started by Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, and later owned by the Butlers of Ormonde, whom altered and enlarged the castle into the palatial manor house it exists as today, mostly in the 19th Century. The castle was damaged during the Irish Civil War in 1922, and continued to decline until it was sold by James Arthur Butler, 6th Marquess of Ormonde to the Irish State in 1967, after which extensive restoration work was carried out, bringing the castle back to its 19th Century glory. |
