Adare Manor Castle, located just 30 minutes from Shannon International Airport, was built in the early 1800s by the Second Earl of Dunraven. The historic castle & manor house, which has hosted US Presidents & First Ladies as well as European Royalty, is surrounded by acres of bucolic parklands, extraordinary formal gardens, the oldest Cedar of Lebenon in the British Isles, and a Victorian Walled Garden. The Irish Castle is a unique “Calendar House” featuring 365 stained glass windows, 52 chimneys, 7 pillars in the lobby for each day of the week and 4 towers for each season. Adare Manor’s magnificent Minstrel’s Gallery – a 132 foot long, 26-½ foot high expanse inspired by the Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles, is ideal for spectacular social and corporate gatherings and is one of Ireland’s largest and grandest ballrooms. Just beyond Adare Manor’s gates is Adare Village, built by the Second Earl of Dunraven to house the estate’s staff, and today is considered one of Ireland’s most photogenic villages with its thatched-roof cottages.
