Description
Southwest of Leixlip, on the Liffey, we come to Celbridge, 2.5mi/4km upstream from which is Castletown House, a spacious and architecturally important mansion built by the Italian architect Alessandro Galilei in 1722 for the Irish parliamentarian, William Connolly. It consists of a finely proportioned central building of three storys and 13 axes, approached by a broad flight of steps, with side wings connected to it by means of quadrant-shaped colonnades. The interior has superb stucco decorations; the staircase and the Pompeian Gallery are particularly fine.

The House was transferred to State care on January 1, 1994 and managed by the Department of Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht.
