You are correct!
It is the Chateau de Gruyères. The garden is well photographed.

I don't know it but I'm guessing Trieste, where I believe Joyce lived (it's certainly not Dublin!).
I often wondered about going there, and to Duino nearby, because of Rilke's Duino Elegies.

Your clues abd google have helped me find the answer.... This is the Triumphal Arch of the Sergii in Pula, Croatia. It commemorates three members of the Sergii family, a powerful Roman family in what was originally a Roman Colony.
James Joyce lived here for a short time and would frequently have passed this arch.

Bingo! Next to the arch is a building that housed the Berlitz school where Joyce worked during his time in Pula - it now includes a cafe with this statue of the writer. Pula is in Istria, which was part of Italy from about 1920 to 1947.
I love Istria and Pula, but Joyce apparently was not particularly impressed during his sojourn there.

Haven't been but is it Minster Lovell Hall, a ruin in Minster Lovell, an English village in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds?

It is Minster Lovell Hall. It is one of the places associated with the story of the Mistletoe Bough when a new bride is playing a game of hide and seek and hides in a chest in an attic. She is unable to escape and not discovered by her family and friends. The body is found many years later in the locked chest as a skeleton in a wedding dress.
There are other ghost stories associated with the ruins and you can read about my experience here....
