The building lay in ruins for over 60 years before being restored.
A new restaurant is to open in a Westmeath castle.
The 26 table Twelve Points Restaurant in Killua Castle will open its doors in April.
The building is the former home of the family of Lawrence of Arabia and it lay in ruins for over 60 years before being restored.
According to Midlands Ireland, the team is being trained and they are hosting trial dinners.
It reports Allen Krause says "we are training local people in the kitchen. Instead of hiring people from outside, we believe it is an investment into the community".
In 2006 Allen and Lorena Krause began restoring the ruined Killua castle and its 340-acre demesne.
With an interest in regenerative farming, they started a native rare breeds farm on the grounds five years ago. Killua Castle and its demesne are owned by the Montpascal Foundation, the family foundation of the Krause family.
The Foundation's mission is to restore and maintain the historical heritage of the property and make it sustainable for the future.
