Ireland’s Biggest "Catfish" Castle EXPOSED 🏰🤯

This gorgeous Irish castle is holding a massive secret... it’s completely fake! Discover the wild history of Duckett's Grove in Co. Carlow, where ultra-rich owners wrapped their plain 1745 mansion in fake gothic towers just to flex their wealth. The illusion was perfect until a mysterious fire gutted the whole thing in 1933. Today, you can explore the stunning ruins and walled gardens for free!
