The Heart of the Castle

The Great Hall

Step back into the medieval past and experience Malahide Castle’s Great Hall, one of Ireland’s most impressive Gaelic feasting rooms. 

Steeped in history, this space, carefully preserved by the Talbot family for generations, showcases an impressive collection of Jacobite portraits, exquisite Irish furniture, and a captivating Minstrel’s Gallery, all within an architectural masterpiece of the historicist style.

The Oak Room

Located in the oldest section of the castle, and so-called because of its richly ornate timber carvings, the oak room offers visitors a chance to experience one of Ireland’s most evocative early-modern interiors. The panelling draws on continental influences and tells a story of the Talbot’s interests, devotions, and their passion for exoticism. 

The Library

The Library, remotely situated, is a haven. The eighteenth-century bookcases once housed the Talbot’s collection of rare books and manuscripts. While still glistening centuries later the gilt-leather wallpaper creates one of Fingal’s most atmospheric rooms. 

A grand dining hall with a long table set for a meal, surrounded by ornate wooden chairs. The walls are adorned with framed portraits. A large chandelier hangs from the high, beamed ceiling, and an upper balcony overlooks the room.
A richly detailed antique room features a wooden table with intricate carvings. On the table sits a silver tray holding an assortment of crystal decanters. The backdrop is a tapestry with floral designs, and a window with leaded glass panels.
Two ornate wooden chairs with green velvet cushions sit by a large, diamond-patterned window, casting light across a dark, intricately carved wooden door and the carpeted floor.
A sunlit room features a vintage wooden wardrobe with a plaid jacket hanging on it. In front is a small table with blue and white porcelain vases. A lattice window and a vintage tennis racket add to the decor. A red patterned rug covers the floor.
A vintage wooden vanity with an ornate mirror is set against a wooden door. It holds various items, such as brushes, perfume bottles, and a framed photograph. A blue and white ceramic vase sits on a carved stand beside floral curtains.
A vintage bedroom with a four-poster bed draped in floral fabric. A small table holds a teapot, cups, and plates. A framed painting hangs on the wall, and natural light streams in through a window with sheer curtains.
An antique wooden desk with ornate carvings is adorned with a vintage clock, quill pens, books, and a decorative lamp in a richly decorated room reminiscent of Malahide Castle. Paintings and a fireplace with a mantel grace the background.

The Drawing Rooms

These elegant and ornate entertaining rooms were created within the seventeenth-century west wing of the castle. In 1833 the rooms were decorated in a colour now known as ‘Malahide orange’ creating a bold impression which can be experienced anew following our recent restoration work.
