The history of the Talbot family is recorded in the Great
Hall,where portraits of generations of the family tell their
own story of Ireland's stormy history. Many additions and
alterations have been made to this romantic and beautiful
structure, but the contours of the surrounding parklands
have changed little in 800 years,retaining a sense of the
past. Malahide Castle is operated by Dublin Tourism Attractions
in conjunction with Fingal County Council.

Malahide
Castle,set on 250 acres of park land in the pretty seaside
town of Malahide,was both a fortress and a private home for
nearly 800 years and is an interesting mix of architectural
styles. The Talbot family lived here from 1185 to 1973,when
the last Talbot died. The house is furnished with beautiful
period furniture together with an extensive collection of
Irish portrait paintings,mainly from the National Gallery.
