Monkstown Castle

Monkstown Castle


Stillorgan, Ireland (IE)
Originally the castle would have been an imposing structure with three towers and a large house with six chimneys. Time has changed all that and today the remains amount to a gate-house and a tower. The monks of St.Mary’s Abbey built the castle but after the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1539, Sir John Travers took control of the castle.
