A medieval village in Kildare, once owned by the founder of Ryanair, is for sale for €20 million.
Lyon dates back to the 19th Century and features a house that was built in the early 1800s.
The estate sits on 20 acres of land and was owned by the founder of Ryanair, Tony Ryan, up until his death in 2007.
The village has recently hit the market for €20 million and comes with a 47-bedroom home, a five-star hotel, restaurant, spa, and more.
It's known across Ireland as a "really niche, very high-end" wedding venue, according to Travel Expert, Owen Corry.

He told Newstalk that whoever buys the village will need a significant amount of money to keep the businesses there thriving.
"The very big, beautiful hotels that we have around the country... They're really not the place people come to make a quick few bob for themselves... It becomes a bit of a labour of love, which it was for Tony Ryan," Owen said.
Access to the property is achieved via a gated tree-lined avenue.
It features gardens, orchards, Ireland's largest artificial lake, and stables.
Lyon was developed in the 18th and 19th centuries as a "thriving canal-side milling village," according to The Independent.
It also served as the residence for the Kings of Leinster from around 760AD.
In 2019, it was taken over by Jordan Bailey, who achieved a two-star Michelin restaurant on his first attempt.
