Johnstown Castle

Johnstown Castle is a 19th-century Gothic Revival country house built on the remains of a Norman tower house on a large demesne in County Wexford, Ireland. The estate includes pleasure grounds with artificial lakes, a stable yard and various service buildings; parts of the site now house the Irish Agricultural Museum and the house is managed for public access.

The shape it held in its prime.

A four‑storey Gothic Revival country house of grey cut stone rising from a park, assembled on the remains of an earlier Norman tower house; the main block shows vertical mullioned and arched windows and a prominent arched entrance, with steep slate roofs and subordinate low service ranges. A long stone stable yard with round‑arched openings and circular oculi faces a broad gravel courtyard, and the south side opens onto pleasure grounds and two artificial lakes.
