Killruddery Haus und Gärten

Killruddery House and Gardens is a 400-hectare estate on the border of Dublin and County Wiclow. It has been the seat of the Brabazon family since the 17th century. The oldest gardens in Ireland from the 17th century have been preserved here. The house is still inhabited and the property is open to visitors. There are themed gardens, farms, groves and forests.

The Killruddery estate is in the hands of the Brabazon family, who have been Earl of Meath since 1618. The house was thoroughly rebuilt in 1820 in a style reminiscent of the palace assumptions from the times of Elizabeth I. However, a magnificent orangery was added to it, which today is the most striking element of the building. Its dome was modeled on the Crystal Palace in London.

There are French-style gardens around the house. They are made available to visitors. You can also take a walk around the property. There are picturesque groves, farms where both vegetables and flowers are grown, and vast meadows with picnic areas. Guided tours of the property take place on weekends in summer.
