Dublin Castle has been at the center of Irish life since King John of England ordered its erection in 1204. Standing over much earlier structures including a Viking fortress and, possibly, a Gaelic ringfort, it forms the social and political heart of historic Dublin. Visiting Dublin Castle, you’ll get to see the majestic State Apartments, the Viking ruins underneath, and the ancient Black Pool where the river Liffey meets its underground tributary the River Poddle. The seat of British administration in Ireland for 700 years, this glorious collection of buildings recounts the history of Dublin like no other.

The building in which today's Roe & Co Distillery is housed was once the power station of the Guinness Brewery. The original Roe Distillery is located next to it, and the only remnant of it is St. Patrick's Tower (an old windmill). After shutting down in 1926, the distillery was reopened in 2019 as the Roe & Co Distillery, and is the latest addition to Dublin's whiskey industry.
