It is currently owned by the singer Enya. FeaturesFrom the roof of the crenellated turret of the castle, it is possible to see beyond the Irish coast as far eastward as Wales. The building is surrounded by {{convert|14000|m2|acre|abbr=on}} of gardens which had a number of sylvan walks. A 'secret' tunnel at the bottom of the garden originally gave access to Killiney beach but now is sealed off.[1] HistoryJudge Robert Warren built Victoria Castle in 1840[2][3][4] to commemorate Queen Victoria's accession to the throne. The interior was gutted by fire in 1928, then restored by Sir Thomas Power of the whiskey distillery family. He renamed the mansion "Ayesha Castle", after the goddess who rose from the flames in Rider Haggard's novel She. In 1995, the Aylmer family decided to turn Ayesha Castle into a place of tourist interest, "conver[ting ] existing stables to a ground floor apartment and a first floor craft room".[5] The Stable Gallery was established there, and a number of artists displayed their pictures.[6] Irish musician Enya bought the castle in 1997 for €3.8 million, reportedly outbidding Michael Flatley, who also viewed the house. Based on her interest in Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca, Enya renamed the castle "Manderley" for the fictional house that plays a central role in the 1938 novel. SecurityBecause of threats from stalkers, Enya reinforced the security of the castle, installing new solid timber entrance gates, raising the surrounding {{convert|41|m|ft|0}} of stone wall to more than {{convert|2.7|m|ft|0}}, and placing {{convert|1.2|m |ft|0}} railings atop some sections.[7] Despite these changes, around mid-August 2005, there were two separate security breaches while Enya was at the castle (her security system includes a panic room).[8] References1. ^{{cite news|author=Seaside Secrets |url=http://www.independent.ie/unsorted/features/life-piles-of-the-rich-and--famous-why-a-celebs-home--is-their-castle-346615.html |title=Life piles of the rich and famous: why a celeb's home is their castle |publisher=Independent.ie |date= 2001-05-26|accessdate=2011-06-24}} {{Castles in Dublin}}{{Enya}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://members.iinet.net.au/~nickred/newspaper/np_abst44.htm |title=Nick Reddan's Newspaper Extracts|publisher=Members.iinet.net.au |date=2011-01-08 |accessdate=2011-06-24}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.ucd.ie/economics/research/papers/2002/WP02.15.pdf |title=The Limerick Estate of Sergeant Warren during the Great Irish Famine |format=PDF |date= |accessdate=2011-06-24}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.dublin1850.com/dublin1850/xdubdir88.html#warren |title=Dublin City Directory 1850: Waddick - Weekes |publisher=Dublin1850.com |date= |accessdate=2011-06-24}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://planning.dlrcoco.ie/swiftlg/apas/run/WPHAPPDETAIL.DisplayUrl?theApnID=D95A/0199 |title=DLR County Council Planning Application|publisher=Planning.dlrcoco.ie |date= |accessdate=2011-06-24}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=stable+gallery+killiney |title=Google search|publisher=Google.com |date=2004-03-20 |accessdate=2011-06-24}} 7. ^[https://web.archive.org/web/20110716162603/http://property.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/property/article1163172.ece Living: Quiet life next door to Enya] 8. ^Enya's Castle Invaded by Stalker 4 : Buildings and structures in Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown|Enya|Houses in the Republic of Ireland|Castles in Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown |
