Castles of Leinster: Kilrush, Kilkenny
Castles of Leinster: Kilrush, Kilkenny
The Shortall family were the first to occupy the castle in the late-16th century, followed by the St Georges who occupied the castle for well over 150 years before moving into an adjacent house they had built in 1818. It represents a continuous occupation by the same family of over 350 years that continues to this day. The main feature is the studded entrance door that is thought to be original.
