Details

Manderley Castle, formerly "Victoria Castle" and "Ayesha Castle", is a large castellated Irish mansion built in Victorian style, in Killiney, County Dublin, Ireland. It is currently owned by the singer Enya.From the roof of the crenellated turret of the castle, it is possible to see beyond the Irish coast as far eastward as Wales. The building is surrounded by 14000m2 of gardens which had a number of sylvan walks. A 'secret' tunnel at the bottom of the garden originally gave access to Killiney beach but now is sealed off.Judge Robert Warren built Victoria Castle in 1840 to commemorate Queen Victoria's accession to the throne. The interior was gutted by fire in 1928, then restored by Sir Thomas Power of the whiskey distillery family. He renamed the mansion "Ayesha Castle", after the goddess who rose from the flames in Rider Haggard's novel She. In 1995, the Aylmer family decided to turn Ayesha Castle into a place of tourist interest, "conver existing stables to a ground floor apartment and a first floor craft room". The Stable Gallery was established there, and a number of artists displayed their pictures.
