Jenkinstown Castle was a country house using designs by William Robertson which incorporated the earlier Palladian building (pre-1798). This structure was built for Sir Patrick Bellew (1798–1866), first Baron Bellew of Barmeath at Jenkinstown Park, County Kilkenny, Ireland. However the design had serious structural issues, and the Bellews hired architect Charles Frederick Anderson to remedy the situation. However, some of that structure collapsed. The architect left Ireland and moved to the USA. The house was restored in a smaller version and remained occupied by the Bellew family until the 1930s.
