Bremore Castle will be open to the public this Thursday 21st and Friday 22nd August 2025 from 10am-4pm for ‘The Sale of Balbriggan’ exhibition. All Welcome

150 years ago, the sale of the estate of George Alexander Hamilton took place at the Landed Estates Court on Inns Quay, Dublin. The estate was divided into 22 lots and included the entire town of Balbriggan itself. The sale is of particular historic significance due to the transfer of ownership of the town from the Hamilton family to a new entrepreneurial class. This new Fingal Libraries exhibition looks at the auction that became known as ‘The Sale of Balbriggan’.

Curator Brian Kavanagh from Fingal Local Studies & Archives will be onsite to answer questions on the sale and on Bremore Castle itself.
