Great Irish Interiors
Kilkenny Castle
Season 2 Episode 5 of 7
A look at how Mary Heffernan's team is working to conserve, update and reinvigorate the visitor experience at Kilkenny Castle, one of Ireland's most beautiful buildings. Originally built by Strongbow in 1173, the castle was eventually the ancestral home of the Butlers of Ormonde, before being sold to the people of Kilkenny for £50, but had fallen into disuse by the 1990s
