Howth Castle

Howth Castle is a historic dwelling, based on 14th and 15th century Anglo-Norman construction, that lies by the village of Howth, County Dublin, Ireland. It is sited within a substantial estate. The castle was the ancestral home of the St Lawrence family that had held the area since the 12th century Norman invasion, and the head of which held in time the titles of Lord Howth until circa 1425, Baron Howth to 1767, then Earl of Howth until 1909. The castle and estate were held by distaff heirs, the Gaisford-St Lawrence family, from 1909 to 2019, when they were sold to an investment group, Tetrarch.
