In August 2021, the prestigious Kilkenny Castle, a top-rated tourist attraction in Kilkenny, got honored by being depicted on a strictly limited commemorative 0 Euro banknote. Only motifs of high cultural, historical or social significance to Ireland will be selected. It is a great honor to get a dedicated banknote for an attraction. Attraction managers and owners can get in touch if they are interested in getting a dedicated banknote for their own attraction.

Kilkenny Castle dominates the "High Town" of Kilkenny City. After many facelifts over the centuries, Kilkenny Castle today exhibits a blend of architectural styles. It is one of the greatest tourist attractions in Kilkenny.

In the early thirteenth century, the original Anglo-Norman stone castle was constructed for the 4th Earl of Pembroke before becoming the main Irish residence of the powerful Butler family for almost 600 years.

Visitors can see the depth of the original walls close up in the Undercroft at the base of the West Tower. In the Chinese Withdrawing Room, they'll be treated to a taste of early 19th-century décor.

If you would like to order one of these limited banknotes for yourself or as a present for others, please find it here on the product page.
