A medieval castle<\/a>, a park, museums and the largest telescope – all this is in Birr Castle<\/a>. A walk with a real count on his estate with a medieval castle is not a fairy tale. In the Irish castle of Birr, surrounded by beautiful gardens and parks, this becomes a reality. The owner, a descendant of an ancient Irish family, will tell the history<\/a> of the estate and even have a cup of tea with you from family china<\/a>.<\/p>\n

History<\/a> of the castle<\/h2>\n

A very long time ago, at the beginning of the XII century, this story began. At that time there was an Anglo-Norman fortress here. Later, until the 17th century, the O'Car<\/a>roll family lived in Birr Castle and ruled over a large area<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In 1620, Sir Lawrence Parsons, Earl of Ross, was granted the reigning special Birr Castle with an adjacent territory of five square kilometers. The new owner built a castle that has survived to this day. At the same time, a wonderful garden was laid.<\/p>\n
