In the 1990s, Jeremy Irons purchased Kilcoe castle - an abandoned XV century coastal tower in southeast Ireland. It was the last castle captured by the British in the XVII century.

At the time of purchase, there was nothing but ruins. After many years of relentless restoration, Irons turned Kilcoe into one of the few Irish castles that serve as permanent residence these days. Irons lives there with his family.
