Howth Castle was originally built 1464 (would be at succession of 2nd Baron Howth),
rebuilt by 7th (20th) Baron Howth late 1500s.
Title extinct 1909.
Howth Castle survives,
still in the family (through female line)
after 800 years,
making this possibly the oldest family home in Ireland.
The castle is not open to the public,
but the grounds are.
The castle is quite an extended complex of interlinked buildings,
of different ages,
on the way in to Deer Park Hotel and golf course.
