The primary role of the Office of Public Works in the management of Castletown is the conservation and presentation to the public of the House together with its rich collection of furniture and artefacts.

There are no plans at present for a museum in Castletown House, but the OPW is always prepared to look at innovative proposals for the use of structures such as the outbuildings at Castletown.
