  • A Brief History
    Set in the middle of a 1,500 acre estate surrounded by stunningly beautiful parkland on the River Boyne, Slane Castle is a superb & unique venue for your wedding. A Brief History Slane Castle celebrated its bicentennial year in 1985, an occasion that was marked by the official opening of the Castle to the public. The Castle as you see it today was reconstructed under the direction of William Burton Conyngham, & his nephew the first Marquess Conyngham, who inherited the Slane Estate from his uncle General Henry Conyngham on his death in 1796. This reconstruction commenced in 1785, & is principally the work of James Gandon, James Wyatt & Francis Johnston. Francis Johnston, one of Ireland’s most distinguished architects, is responsible for the dramatic gothic gates on the Mill Hill in Slane. The present head of the Conyngham family is the eighth Marquess Conyngham, known formerly as Henry, the Earl of Mount Charles. Lord Henry is proudly continuing an active association between the Conynghams & Slane Castle dating back to the beginning of the eighteenth century. Throughout the centuries, Slane Castle has entertained a variety of guests from historical figures including King George IV – for whom the Ballroom was originally designed – to modern legends like U2, the Red Hot Chilli Peppers & The Rolling Stones. Indeed, it has become famed worldwide as the original Rock ‘n Roll castle. An Exclusive Wedding Venue Slane Castle offers each client exclusive use of this beautiful venue for their wedding day, using the King’s Ballroom which seats 110 guests or the Burton Hall seating 240 guests.

  • The Rebel Countess of Ireland Constance Marcievicz
    The Canada Times … inspiring students to discover history The Rebel Countess of Ireland Constance Marcievicz March 2016 JEANIE JOHNSTON EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION Hospitaller Order of St. John of Jerusalem The Rebel Countess of Ireland Constance Marcievicz Alan Hustak he was an Anglo-Irish blue blood, a Protestant with a Polish name – an unlikely heroine of the Irish Rebellion. Known to history as the “rebel countess,” Constance Georgine Marcievicz often described herself as “a rebel, unconverted and unconvertibleS pledged to the one thing – a free and independent Republic.” A century ago, she was sentenced to death by firing squad for her part in the 1916 Easter Uprising. At the time she was second in command of the Irish Citizen Army at St. Steven’s Green under Michael Mallin. When the uprising erupted, armed with a Mauser and an automatic rifle and with a cartridge belt slung around her waist, she was spoiling for a fight. Preparations for the rising were being made by the Irish Republican Brotherhood in Kerry. British detectives caught wind of it and according to one account warned the countess to stay away from Kerry. She was indignant. “What will happen to me if I refuse the order? Will you shoot me?” she asked. “Ah, madam, who would want to shoot you? You wouldn’t want to shoot one of us, would you?” “But I would! I’m quite prepared to shoot and be shot at.” True to her word, on Easter Monday 1916 she led her men through the gas-lit streets of Dublin and during the weeklong skirmish she is thought to have killed at least one British soldier.
