Welcome
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.
Sweeping staircases, magnificent plastered ceilings, marble fireplaces and a
charming walled garden are all features of this notable Georgian residence.
Butler House was originally restored
in the early 1970’s by Kilkenny
Design, they painstakingly restored all of the original architectural features
and furnished the house in a very unique and contemporary way. The influence
of Kilkenny Design has always been one of the unique features of Butler House.
The house has undergone a number of refurbishments since then, however the
influence of the original Kilkenny Design Team is still visible throughout
the house today.
The superb location of Butler House in the centre of historic Kilkenny City
offers visitors the best of two worlds. Through the back door you will find
Patrick Street, which leads to the commercial centre of the city. Here you
will find an array of shops, bars and restaurants. Through the front door you
will be surprised to find the internationally renowned Butler House Walled
Garden. This charming Georgian garden was restored to its former glory in 1999
and boosts its own private entrance to the Castle yard and Kilkenny Castle.
This is another unique feature of this wonderful house. |
