A Brief History of
Luttrellstown Castle
Luttrellstown Castle is just minutes from where Jack grew up and where his family still lives, making it a setting that feels both historic and personal.
For over five centuries, the castle has captivated visitors. Originally the seat of the influential Luttrell family, it has been witness to centuries of history—from political intrigue to grand entertainments crafted for its guests. After the Luttrell line ended in the early 19th century, the castle passed through a series of fascinating owners, including a Dublin bookseller who made his fortune in the lottery and a member of the Guinness family, who oversaw renovations that gave the interiors their timeless elegance.
Its halls and gardens have welcomed royalty, celebrities, and notable figures, including Princess Grace of Monaco, Fred Astaire, Paul Newman, and, more recently, David and Victoria Beckham for their 1999 wedding. With centuries of stories in its walls, the castle remains a magical setting (and one that knows how to throw a party).
