Kanturk Castle

Kanturk Castle is a fortified house at Kanturk in County Cork, built in 1601 for MacDonagh McCarthy as a defence against English settlers, and developed into the fine mansion seen today.

The castle was one of the original properties of the National Trust listed in the private Act of Parliament incorporating the Trust, and it is today owned by An Taisce, the National Trust for Ireland. (Read more)
