Castle Balfour

Castle Balfour is a castle situated in Lisnaskea, County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. It sits at the edge of the parish graveyard just west of Main Street. The castle is a State Care Historic Monument sited in the townland of Castle Balfour Demesne, in the Fermanagh and Omagh district area, at grid ref: H3622 3369. History Castle-skeagh was granted to Michael Balfour, Lord Balfour of Burleigh from Fife, Scotland, by King James I in the Plantation of Ulster. He sold his lands in Fermanagh to his younger brother James, Lord Balfour of Glenawley in 1615. In 1618/19 Captain Nicholas Pynnar reported that Balfour had begun his building at Castle-skeagh. The village of Lisnaskea developed around it. The castle was altered in 1652 and damaged in 1689. The last person to possess and inhabit the Castle was James Haire (1737–1833) who leased the castle from John Creighton, Earl Erne. James Haire and his family ceased to occupy the castle after it was destroyed by an arson-based fire in 1803. His mother, Phoebe Haire, was killed by the fire. It is believed that the perpetrator of the fire was a member of the Maguire clan. Major conservation and restoration was undertaken in the 1960s and further conservation work was completed in the late 1990s. Evidence of an earlier ringfort indicates the area had been inhabited from very early times. In Castle Balfour Demesne, slight surface evidence for a fosse between two banks was revealed after excavation to have been 2 m deep. Attempts to find the outer fosse of a bivallate ringfort revealed 'no distinct, steep edges' contrasting with the steeply cut inner fosse. Radiocarbon dates of 359-428 AD were found from the ringfort at Castle Balfour. Features In 1618/19 Captain Nicholas Pynnar reported that Balfour had 'laid the foundation of a bawne of lime and stone 70 ft square, of which the two sides are raised 15 ft high. There is also a castle of the same length, of which the one half is built two stories high and is to be three stories and a half high'. Castle Balfour was a long, rectangular three storey building, on a north–south axis, the main block being 26 m by 8 m. It had a square wing to the east and west and a later rectangular block on the northern end. It has the style of a Scottish castle and the building is thought to be the work of Lowland Scots masons. The surviving castle is in a T plan with an entrance with gun-loops. The castle has vaulted rooms and a kitchen with fireplace and oven on the ground floor, main dwelling rooms on the first floor and corbelled turrets with gun slits.

Замок Балфур (Северная Ирландия)

Замок Балфур (англ. Castle Balfour) — это замок, расположенный в Лиснаски, в графстве Фермана, Северная Ирландия. Он расположен на краю приходского кладбища, к западу от Главной улицы. Замок является охраняемым государством историческим памятником, расположенным в районе Фермана и Ома. История Поместье было пожаловано Майклу Балфуру, лорду Балфуру Берли из Файфа, Шотландия, королем Яковом I в рамках Плантации Ольстер. В 1615 году он продал свои земли в Фермане своему младшему брату Джеймсу, лорду Балфуру из Гленоли. В 1618/19 капитан Николас Пиннар сообщил, что Балфур начал строительство. Вокруг него выросла деревня Лиснаски. Замок был перестроен в 1652 году и поврежден в 1689 году. Последним человеком, владевшим замком и проживавшим в нем, был Джеймс Хейр (1737-1833), который арендовал замок у Джона Крейтона, графа Эрна. Джеймс Хейр и его семья перестали жить в замке после того, как он был уничтожен пожаром, вызванным поджогом в 1803 году. Его мать, Фиби Хейр, погибла в огне. Считается, что виновник пожара был членом клана Магуайр. Основные работы по сохранению и реставрации были проведены в 1960-х годах, а дальнейшие работы по сохранению были завершены в конце 1990-х годов. Свидетельства существования более раннего круглого форта указывают на то, что этот район был заселен с очень ранних времен. На территории владений после раскопок были обнаружены незначительные поверхностные следы рва глубиной 2 метра между двумя берегами. Радиоуглеродный анализ 359-428 гг. н.э. был проведен в круглом форте в замке Бальфу. Особенности строения Замок Бальфур представлял собой длинное прямоугольное трехэтажное здание, расположенное по оси север–юг, главный корпус которого был размером 26 на 8 м. К нему примыкало квадратное крыло на востоке и западе и более поздний прямоугольный корпус на северном конце. Он выполнен в стиле шотландского замка, и считается, что здание было построено каменщиками из Равнинной Шотландии. Сохранившийся замок имеет Т-образную форму, вход в него оборудован бойницами. В замке есть сводчатые залы и кухня с камином и печью на первом этаже, главные жилые комнаты на втором этаже и стрельчатые башни с бойницами для оружия.

Castle Caulfield

Castle Caulfield ist die Ruine eines Herrenhauses im Dorf Castlecaulfield (irisch Baile Uí Dhonnaíle) im nordirischen County Tyrone. Castle Caulfield gilt als State Care Historic Monument im Townland von Lisnamonaghan im District Mid Ulster. Geschichte Das Haus wurde für Sir Toby Caulfeild zwischen 1611 und 1619 an Stelle einer älteren O’Donnelly-Burg errichtet. Es brannte während der Irischen Rebellion 1641 nieder, wurde aber in den 1660er-Jahren von den Caulfeilds wiederaufgebaut, die dort bis etwa 1700 lebten. Oliver Plunkett soll 1670 in dem befestigten Haus eine Messe gelesen haben, aber es war schon eine Ruine, als John Wesley 1767 dort predigte. Konstruktion Das Gebäude hatte einen U-förmigen Grundriss, war drei Stockwerke hoch und hatte ein zusätzliches Dachgeschoss, Ajimezfenster und hohe Kamine. Eine Balkenlage aus einer der Mauern wurde mit Hilfe der Dendrochronologie auf etwa 1282 datiert und könnte zu einem früheren Fort gehört haben. Es gibt heute noch umfangreiche Überreste der Burg. Der älteste Teil der heute noch erhaltenen Gebäudeteile ist ein Torhaus, das über Durchgänge im Tudorstil, Meurtrières und Schießscharten verfügt. Das Wappen der Caulfeilds ist über dem Eingang sichtbar. Einzelnachweise Weblinks Castle Caulfield. Tourism Northern Irland, abgerufen am 31. August 2025 (englisch).

Замок Колфілд

Замок Колфілд (англ. Castle Caulfield) — один із замків Ірландії, розташований біля селища Кастелколфілд, графство Тірон, Північна Ірландія. Нині замок лежить в руїнах. Колись це була велична багатоповерхова будівля, міцний оборонний замок, з бійницями, баштами, чисельними кімнатами. Археологічні дослідження і датування по дереву вказують на те, що замок був побудований до 1282 року. Замок кілька разів добудовувався і перебудовувався. Є численні елементи добудовані вже в епоху Тюдорів в Англії, бійниці, зроблені в різні епохи. Зберігся герб господарів замку Колфілд над входом в замок. Частину замку — житловий будинок збудував сер Тобі ні Колфілд — лорд Шарлемон у 1611—1619 роках на місці замку, що належав ірландському клану О'Доннелл. Лорд Шарлемон дуже хотів жити як англійський джентльмен. Тільки таким бажанням можна пояснити його будівництво на руїнах замку у неспокійному районі Ірландії у дуже неспокійний час. У 1619 році замок мав П-подібну форму і північно-західне крило, яке не збереглося. Замок мав каміни і масивні димарі. Піньяр у 1619 році описував замок як «гарний будинок на півночі Ірландії». Замок сильно постраждав під час повстання за незалежність Ірландії 1641 року — був взятий штурмом і спалений ірландськими повстанцями під проводом Похмурого Патріка О'Доннелла. Але замок лишався населеним замком до 1660 років. У 1660 році замок був частково відновлений, але все одно був у жахливо стані. Замок відвідав Олівер Планкетт в 1670 році і повідомив, що замок лежить в руїнах. У 1700 році замок був кинутий власниками напризволяще. Замок лежав в повних руїнах, коли в ньому проповідував Джон Веслі в 1767 році. Нині замок Колфілд — це закинуті руїни, але замок є пам'яткою історії та архітектури і охороняється законом.

Castle Donovan

Castle Donovan (irsk: Caisleán Uí Dhonnabháin) eller Castledonovan eller O'Donovan's Castle er ruinerne af et beboelsestårn eller túrtheach, der ligger i dalen nær Drimoleague, som fungerede som sæde for Clann Cathail-grenen af O'Donovan-familien i 1500-tallet. Borgens oprindelige navn, og navnet på den, da O'Donovan-familien boede der var Sowagh (eller Sooagh, Suagh) før 1600-tallet. Navnet blev ændret til Castle Donovan efter Manor of the Castle of O'Donovan, i 1615, hvor den bliver associeret med overgivelsen til James 2. af England. Ruinen er omkring 18 m høj og står på en stor klippe ud til floden Ilen. Man mener den blev bygget, i hvert fald til dels, af Donal of the Hides, Lord of Clancahill fra omkring 1560 til hans død i 1584. Hans søn Donal II O'Donovan reparerede og ombyggede den årtier senere, men boede her ikke. Referencer Eksterne henvisninger
Castle Donovan

Castle Donovan (Irish: Caisleán Uí Dhonnabháin) or Castledonovan or O'Donovan's Castle refer to the remains of an Irish tower house or túrtheach, in a valley near Drimoleague, of medium size which was the so-called "seat" of the Clann Cathail sept of the O'Donovans for a period during the 16th century. The original name of the castle, and when the O'Donovans were actually living in it, was Sowagh (or Sooagh, Suagh) before the 17th century. The name of Castle Donovan, after the Manor of the Castle of O'Donovan, is associated with a regrant from James II of England in 1615. Approximately 60 feet in height, it sits on a large rock or outcropping, which forms the ground floor, close to the bank of the River Ilen. It is commonly believed to have been built, or at the very least augmented, by Donal of the Hides, Lord of Clancahill from about 1560 to his death 1584. His son Donal II O'Donovan then repaired or further altered the structure some decades later, but was not living in it by then. It is believed that his father had already relocated the family in the first decade of that century to the more profitable Rahine Manor on the seacoast to protect their maritime interests. According to tradition the tower was severely damaged by Oliver Cromwell's soldiers in the late 1640s, blown up with powder in retaliation for Donal III O'Donovan joining the Stuart side and for his involvement in the rebellion and massacres of 1641, and has been uninhabited since that time. In 1834, J. F. W. writing for editor Philip Dixon Hardy published an account of his 1828 journey to the "vale of Castle Donovan", including a drawing in which several of the outbuildings can still be seen, in the Dublin Penny Journal. He says: ... It is hard to conceive of any thing more wild, more desolate, more lonely, than this savage vale. ... I reached the eminence which commands it from the east, about two in the afternoon of a warm sunny day. Trees there are none in this district, and the heathy covering of the hills was incapable of showing any marks of the advancing season. In the centre of the vale beneath me, was the tall, castellated tower; an extensive marshy meadow lay beyond it, bounded by the steep rocky hills of Mullaugh-Nesha, and its peaked brethren. The tower's surrounding wall or bawn and outbuildings are now gone, but over two thirds of the tower still remain. The 17th century explosion left only a small gouge in the southwest corner, but caused huge cracks in the masonry, leaving the structure unsafe, and over two centuries later the entire western wall, excluding the still intact spiral staircase, and majority of the southern wall collapsed. It underwent conservation by the Office of Public Works between 2001 and 2014 and is a listed National Monument. As of 2024, Castle Donovan was for sale.

Castlebawn

Castlebawn (irisch An Caisleán Bán, dt. „die weiße Burg“) ist die Ruine eines Tower House aus dem 16. Jahrhundert im irischen County Clare. Sie befindet sich auf der kleinen Flussinsel Caher Island in der Scariff Bay des Lough Derg im Verlauf des Shannon. Die Burg ließen die McNamaras um 1540 errichten. 1827 wurde sie gesprengt, aber heute ist sie restauriert und öffentlich zugänglich. Geschichte Castlebawn ließen die Häuptlinge der McNamaras Mitte des 16. Jahrhunderts errichten. Aufzeichnungen zeigen, dass das Tower House für Owen McNamara gebaut wurde, geben aber kein Baujahr an. Erstmals wurde die Burg 1570 urkundlich erwähnt, als Sean McNamara, der Chef des östlichen Clann-Cuilein starb und Castlebawn seinem Sohn, Sir John McNamara, hinterließ. Die McNamaras lebten dort bis zu den Landnahmen Oliver Cromwells im 17. Jahrhundert, dann blieb Castlebawn unbewohnt. Im Jahre 1827 wurde das Tower House stark beschädigt, als die Verwaltung versuchte, es durch Sprengung zu zerstören, weil es von örtlichen Potcheenherstellern als Bude genutzt wurde. Aber die Burg war so gut gebaut, dass drei der Umfassungsmauern unversehrt blieben. Simon Flannery wohnte Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts in der Burg und so heißt sie bei den Bewohnern der Gegend heute noch „Simon’s Castle“. Restaurierung 1996 wurden Pat und Mary Cody mit der Restaurierung der Ruine fertig, die heute im Sommer öffentlich zugänglich ist. Sie ist allerdings nur per Boot zu erreichen. Einzelnachweise
Castlebawn

Castlebawn is a 16th-century tower house, in County Clare, Ireland. It is on a small island on Lough Derg on the River Shannon, it is connected to the shore of Bealkelly by a man-made causeway. It was built by the McNamaras about 1540, severely damaged in 1827, but is now restored although public access is not permitted to the castle. History Castlebawn was built by Owen McNamara during an unknown year in the 16th century. The earliest recorded mention of Castlebawn is 1570, when Sean McNamara, Chief of eastern Clann-Cuilein, died, leaving Castlebawn to his son, Sir John McNamara. The McNamaras lived there until the 17th century. In 1820 it became a den for illicit poitín makers and in 1827 the authorities besieged the towerhouse to drive the occupants out. After the towerhouse was emptied the authorities attempted to demolish the building with explosives. Only the south wall and roof were destroyed. The remaining walls although damaged remained intact. The castle was so well built that three of the walls remained intact. Simon Flannery occupied the castle early in the 20th century, and locally the castle is still referred to as Simon's Castle. In 1929 the construction of the Ardnacrusha power plant caused the water level in Lough Derg to rise significantly shrinking the island on which the towerhouse stands. Restoration It was restored from ruin by Pat and Mary Cody References
Castleblayney railway station

Castleblayney railway station was on the Dundalk and Enniskillen Railway in the Republic of Ireland. History The Dundalk and Enniskillen Railway opened the station on 17 July 1854. The Castleblayney, Keady and Armagh Railway extended their line from Keady to Castleblayney on 1 December 1910, connecting with Armagh, though the Partition of Ireland resulted in this extension closing on 2 April 1923. The Irish North Western main line closed to passenger traffic on 14 October 1957 following the closure of most of the GNRI's cross-border lines, but survived for occasional goods and excursion traffic until 1 January 1960.

Castleboro House

Castleboro House is a derelict stately home near Clonroche, County Wexford, Ireland. History It was originally built around 1783 for Robert Shapland Carew, father of Robert Carew, 1st Baron Carew, who was an Irish Whig Party politician and landowner. In 1837, Samuel Lewis refers to the house as "the spacious modern mansion of Lord Carew" in his Topographical Dictionary of Ireland. An accidental fire took place in 1839 and destroyed all but the west wing. It was rebuilt from 1840 to 1858 in a neo Palladian style to the design of the English architect Daniel Robertson. The granite gate lodges appear to have been constructed approximately 20 years after the house. The house was refurbished and restored in 1908.The house was noted as being in occasional use in 1911 with only 3 servants residents at the time of the census. The house is later noted as closed in 1921. On 5 February 1923 the house was burnt down by local IRA (Irish Republican Army) supporters during the Irish Civil War and was part of a larger series of the Destruction of Irish country houses (1919–1923). Only three of the rooms were furnished, the remainder of the contents having been sold in May 1921. In 1926, the demesne is noted as occupied by husband and wife William and Anna Livingstone. The remaining estate was later converted to farmland and the ruins of the house still stand as of 2026.
