Johnstown Castle and Gardens
The harmony between great Victorian revival castles and their surrounding ornamental grounds is rarely seen to such perfection as at Johnstown Castle.
The mature woodlands and lakes of this demesne provide the perfect setting for this turreted,
battlemented and machicolated castle of gleaming silver-grey ashlar, built between 1810 and 1855 and incorporating part of a more ancient castle.

This Museum is located in the old farmyard buildings of Johnstown Castle, which were built about 1810. These have been restored and converted to provide facilities for Ireland's largest Agricultural Museum. There is also a new display of lawn and garden equipment.  The exhibitions cover farm and rural transport, rural crafts, all the major farming activities
as well as the activities on the farmyard and farm dwelling. A large permanent exhibition on the story of the potato and of the Great Famine of 1845-47 has recently opened.
