Carton House

Large Palladian-style seat of the Fitzgeralds, later Dukes of Leinster, at Maynooth, County Kildare, Republic of Ireland. Built on the site of a previous winged manor house, it was remodelled by Richard Castle in 1739 with several notable 18th-century rooms, including a saloon with a Baroque ceiling (1739) by the Lafranchini brothers. Richard Morrison was engaged by the 3rd Duke of Leinster in 1815 to make alterations which included new rooms on either side of the central block and a southern entrance which gave views over the most picturesque part of the demesne. The Chinese bedroom in which Queen Victoria slept remains as originally decorated. In the grounds is a shell house, a type of summer pavilion, the interior of which is highly decorated with seashells.
