    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.
