The Wonderful Barn on the Castletown demesne, in County Kildare, Ireland, was a philanthropic project built during the famine of 1740-41, by Katherine Connolly. With its curious flight of steps rising around the exterior, the raison d'être behind its construction has been lost in the mists of time, but it probably had a dual purpose as a distinctly bizarre eyecatcher and a granary, given the need for grain stores during the occasional famine. The philanthropist and Irish political hostess, Katherine Connolly, who lived in the Big House, provided work for the hundreds of local people who found themselves in dire straits during the famine of 1740-41. The prevailing attitude of the time suggested hand-outs without labour was bad for character, and this led to the building of a number of follies.
