Summary
| Description |
English: Castle Salem near Ross Carbery More properly known as Benduff, the castle was built during the C15 or C16 by the MacCarthy Reaghs, and unlike most castles in the area, Benduff nestles amongst the hills in a wooded valley. Originally built as a rectangular tower house, an L shaped country house was added during the latter half of the C17.
For their part in the Battle of Kinsale, the MacCarthys forfeited their lands, and Benduff was granted to a Major Morris, an officer in Cromwell's army. His son William Morris managed to retain the property, even after the Restoration. Under the influence of his friend William Penn (founder of Pennsylvania in the USA), William became a Quaker, and it was he who renamed the house Castle Salem. Today the property is owned by the Daly family, who for a donation, give conducted tours of the castle, and also operate a modern B & B from the original C17 house, that gives access to the castle from within its walls. |
