The Kildare Collection

Designed with the Thoroughbred County Origins in mind

Discover the stories, landscapes, and heritage of County Kildare through The Kildare Collection — a curated series of heritage-inspired artwork celebrating the history, identity, and traditions of Ireland's Thoroughbred County.

Known in Irish as Cill Dara, meaning "Church of the Oak," Kildare derives its name from the ancient monastery founded by Saint Brigid, one of Ireland's most beloved patron saints. Situated in the heart of Ireland's Ancient East, the county has long been a centre of faith, learning, and culture.

From the sweeping grasslands of the Curragh and the world-renowned Irish National Stud to historic towns such as Naas, Newbridge, Athy, and Maynooth, Kildare is a county where history and modern Ireland meet. Its rich equestrian heritage has earned it international recognition and the enduring nickname "The Thoroughbred County."

This collection draws inspiration from Kildare's landscapes, landmarks, and cultural legacy. Whether reflecting the county's ancient monastic foundations, its racing traditions, or its central role in Ireland's story, each piece is designed to celebrate family roots, local pride, and a lasting connection to place.

Whether your family comes from Kildare Town, Celbridge, Leixlip, Clane, Monasterevin, or the surrounding countryside, these artworks offer a meaningful way to honour your connection to County Kildare and share that heritage with future generations.
