An integral part of the Kilkenny Castle estate, Butler House was home to the Earls of Ormonde, who also built the castle, stables and coach houses at the rear. The location of Butler House, amidst the charm and relaxed lifestyle of historic Kilkenny City , ensures an experience as rich as the surrounding landscape, and will provide you with unforgettable memories. Located in the south-east of the country, Kilkenny is Ireland 's medieval capital. The city is steeped in history, dominated by superb ancient architecture, such as the magnificent Kilkenny Castle , one of Ireland 's most famous castles. Built by the Normans in 1190, and occupied by the Butler family for 500 years, the fortress has been restored to its former glory. Sweeping staircases, magnificent plastered ceilings, marble fireplaces and a charming walled garden are all features of this notable Georgian residence. In the early seventies, Kilkenny Design refurbished Butler House in a unique, contemporary way. In 1989, the Kilkenny Civic Trust acquired the house, along with its important collection of Irish art. The professional and friendly staff of Butler House are dedicated to providing for their residents every need. They are delighted to assist in mapping out itineraries, reserving tee times, and arranging local fishing trips and horse riding. The dedication and enthusiasm of their staff provide for one of the hallmarks of Butler House’s success. |
