Dalkey Castle & Heritage Centre is comprised of a fifteenth century fortified Town House, called Goat Castle after the Cheevers' family who lived there in the 1600s; a tenth century Church & Graveyard dedicated to St Begnet, a Modern Exhibition Area, an Art Gallery, a Gift Shop & Dalkey Town Hall.

Modern Exhibition Area

The Modern Exhibition Area is bright and spacious and looks out on the St Begnet’s Church & Graveyard. It houses the Rathdown Slab, a pre-Christian burial marker which was found in St Begnet’s Graveyard.

There are Information Panels on Dalkey’s origins which began in 4500BC on Dalkey Island. The stories and legends of Dalkey such as the Dalkey Gold Rush with Etty Scott and the Crowning of the King of Dalkey are also chronicled.

Marvel at the artistic talent of Dalkey's writers:
Nobel prize winner: George Bernard Shaw.
Tony Award winner: (Da) Hugh Leonard
International best-selling author Maeve Binchy, and many more of national and international repute.
