About
Howth Castle has been the home of the St. Lawrence family since the 13th century and is one of Ireland's most historic homes. The St. Lawrences were Lords and Earls of Howth who built and expanded Howth Castle to its impressive form today. The castle is open for guided tours at certain times of the year, during which you will hear of the architectural development of the castle through names like Richard Morrison and Edwin Lutyens. With 800 years of history within the walls, Howth Castle is a treasure of local history and architectural beauty.
