Which singer lives in a castle with cats?

The multimillionaire singer Enya is a mysterious recluse who swore off love, lives in a castle with cats and sings in a make-believe language, a fascinating new profile of the star reveals.



Enya, the world-renowned Irish singer-songwriter famous for her ethereal New Age music, lives in a stunning Victorian castle named Manderley Castle (formerly Victoria Castle) in Killiney, County Dublin. Purchased in 1997 for roughly £2.5 million, the castle sits atop a hill with breathtaking views of the Irish Sea. Enya is famously private and lives a reclusive lifestyle within the castle walls, which are heavily fortified with high-tech security systems. She is well-known for her deep love for animals, particularly her cats; at one point, she was reported to share her castle with up to a dozen of them. Her home, which she renamed after the fictional estate in Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca, serves as her sanctuary and creative hub. While other celebrities like Taylor Swift are famous for their cats, Enya is the quintessential "castle dweller" whose quiet, cats-and-castles life has become a part of her mysterious public persona. Despite her massive wealth and over 80 million album sales, she rarely leaves the grounds of Manderley except for occasional professional commitments.
