13th century
A story with medieval roots
Wilton’s history reaches back to the thirteenth century. Its medieval origins belong to a much longer story than the restored residence you can stay in today.
Wilton Castle · History
A past worth preserving.
A future worth sharing.
From medieval origins to a deeply personal restoration, Wilton’s story is one of endurance, family connection, and a remarkable return to life.
1923
The fire that changed Wilton
The castle was burned during the Irish Civil War. For more than eighty years it stood in ruins, a powerful presence in the landscape beside the Boro River.
A decade of care
A personal restoration
Local dairy farmer Sean Windsor took on the work of rebuilding. His grandfather had been the estate’s manager in 1923, making the restoration a return to a family connection as well as a recovery of the building.
