The present Castlewarden House was built in the 1640's by the Percivall family. The 17th century house was built on the site of the original "Castle Warden" which was twice burned in the period 1641-1646. Parts of the very substantial basement walls date from 1555. The owners, since early Norman times were: de Hereford/Pippard/Butler family, 1636-1711; Palliser family 1711-1904.
The land around the house was for many centuries the demesne lands while the stone outbuildings were built in the 17th century. The motte and bailey was the site of the first Norman settlement in the late 12th century, when the area was known as Castrum Munitum.
Castlewarden House is ideally situated just 500 yards off the Naas dual carriageway, the main Dublin to Cork/Limerick Road, and is around 2 miles from Kill, 6 miles from Naas and about 13 miles from Dublin.
This fine Georgian two story building is approached by a long sweeping tree lined avenue. |
