Howth Castle
Howth Castle is a historic dwelling on the Howth peninsula near Dublin, long held by the St Lawrence family since the Anglo-Norman period. The standing building incorporates 14th–15th century stone work together with later remodelling by Edwin Lutyens and sits within an extensive wooded demesne that includes formal gardens, walks and shoreline views over Dublin Bay and Ireland's Eye.

As it stood in 1911
The shape it held in its prime.
Long, horizontally emphasised house massing composed of a low white-rendered wing of regular sash windows attached to a taller central stone block and several crenellated square towers; castellated parapets and stepped battlements run along the roofline. The stone ranges are pale grey to off-white, roofs appear slate, and the building sits behind a broad lawn surrounded by dense woodland with open views seaward toward Dublin Bay and Ireland's Eye.
