Dunleckny Manor

Castle

What is recorded here

Dunleckny Manor is a castle in County Carlow where a 19th-century house absorbed an early 17th-century structure instead of replacing it. George Bagenal died in 1625, local memory kept his building alive at the rear of the long low range, and 1980s refurbishment exposed the older parts hidden inside the newer walls. The manor still works like a sieve: every age strips back a little skin and hands the previous life upward.
