Kanturk castle

1580s Irish Chieftain's fortified house. The castle is rectangular in shape with massive square towers at each corner. The main block has four storeys, the towers have five. The castle has a remarkable number of well-preserved fireplaces. This building is an interesting combination of the traditional Irish tower-house architecture with pointed arches and the new Tudor architecture with Renaissance doorways and mullioned windows.
