Rathfarnham Castle
★★★☆☆
It is believed the present castle (which replaced an earlier Anglo-Norman castle) was built around 1583 for Yorkshireman, Adam Loftus, then Lord Chancellor of Ireland and Protestant Archbishop of Dublin.
Originally a semi-fortified and battlemented structure, extensive alterations in the 18th century give it the appearance of a Georgian house.
