Malahide Castle

12th-century castle at Malahide, County Dublin, Republic of Ireland, held by the Talbot family from 1174 until 1976. Many of the internal features survive due to this long and continual ownership. These include the old family chapel (the Oak Room) with elaborate wooden carvings, the Great Hall, built with a minstrel's gallery in the reign of Edward IV, and two Georgian drawing rooms, each with a corner turret and plasterwork attributed to Robert West. The castle is now owned by Dublin City Council.
