About Killua Castle
Killua is a historic castle located in the most romantic demesne in Ireland with links to Sir Walter Raleigh and Lawrence of Arabia. The castle, which long lay in ruins, has been fully restored and is now dedicated to expressing and sharing our greatest passions: history, art, environmental conservation, regenerative farming, and gastronomy.
Killua Castle has been described as one of the most romantic demesnes in Ireland. This former home of the family of Lawrence of Arabia lay in ruins for over 60 years before being masterfully restored and brought back to life. The castle is surrounded by beautiful undulating landscape, that is now home to rare breeds of moiled cows, Jacob sheep, old Irish Goats and parkland deer, all reared in a sustainable and regenerative manner.
The guided tour of the castle consists of an approximately 50 min. visit to the main rooms of Killua Castle, all located on the ground floor, with an optional visit to the 18th c. kitchen in the cellars. The rooms house a collection of artwork and artefacts from the Medieval and Early Renaissance period. The visit may be customised according to your interests. The visit costs €50 per person and lasts approximately 50 minutes.
