Built in Ireland around 1798, Charleville is a castle with a colorful history behind it. In fact, even the grounds that it was built upon have a history of their own. It is surrounded by an old forest that once belonged to the druids, ancient priests that to this day remain largely a mystery. Some guests that have spent the night in Charleville Castle claim to witness hooded figures that appear to be performing rituals. In 1577, the land that Charleville now resides in was nothing more than an estate owned by the Earl of Moore. Though the Moore family ownership of the estate did not last very long, with the land eventually being relinquished to Charles William Bury in 1764, otherwise known as the man who built Charleville. Since its creation, there have been a number of different residents that have lived in the castle; in fact, some would say there’s a permanent occupant within Charleville’s walls. Harriet, the young daughter of the third Charleville Earl, died in 1861
