Dublin Castle
Dublin Castle was founded on the site of a Viking settlement as a medieval fortress on the orders of King John of England in 1204 and until 1922 it was the seat of English and later British rule in Ireland. On 16 January 1922, the last ever Viceroy of Ireland handed Dublin Castle over to the government of the newly independent Irish state. The end of the British presence had come about in the wake of the Easter Rising of 1916 and the Irish War of Independence.
Today Dublin castle is open to the public, except during certain state functions. The castle complex also hosts the Chester Beatty Library, in a purpose-constructed facility, with a café, the Garda Museum, the Treasury Building, the Revenue Museum and arts centre in the Chapel crypt.
