Tallaght Castle (also known as Tallaght House[2] and formerly known as the Archiepiscopal Palace[3]) was a castle in Kilnamanagh, Tallaght, County Dublin, Ireland.[4] It dates from the 14th century.[5] It became an official residence of the Church of Ireland Archbishop of Dublin until 1822.[6][7][8][5] It was taken over by the Dominican Order in 1856.[5][9]

The castle is now in ruins with only a small proportion of it incorporated into the St. Mary's Priory building,[3] in the grounds of St. Mary's Dominican Priory and the Priory Institute[5] The old palace gardens, Archbishop’s bathhouse, the Friar's Walk and St. Maelruain's Tree still remain in the current grounds.[10]
