    "... It was constructed in the late 1630s when Ireland was under the reign of Charles I (1625–1649).[5] At the time it was one of the largest buildings in Ireland, and the first to be constructed of red brick: the plans provided for pavement and columns of Kilkenny marble. ... - From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jigginstown_Castle
    Situated on the Newbridge road is the Jigginstown building. It was built in the seventeenth century by the Earl of Strafford who was Viceroy in Ireland. He built it so as to have a mansion suitable for the King in case King Charles ever came on a visit to Ireland.He got the bricks from Denmark. a legend tells us that he had his men lined from Dublin to Naas and they passed the bricks from one to another till they arrived at Jigginstown. It is about one hundred and fifty yards long. There are many underground cellars in it. Before it was finished the Lord Deputy was called over to England and was beheaded formaking friends with the Irish. A legend tells us that in one of the cellars is a spring well which used to supply the house with water. It is said that there is gold buried there and that a black dog minds it. There is a tunnel leading to Killashee from Jigginstown.
