Kinlough Castle

Kinlough Castle is a tower house and National Monument located in County Mayo. Kinlough Church, part of the National monument, is nearby. 

The tower is thought to have been constructed in the 13th century AD, although the additional two storeys with corner fireplaces that were subsequently added to it, date from a 1574 remodelling by Sir John MacOliver Burke.

The present tower house was built in the 16th century. Kinlough Castle is four storeys high, with gables at the east and west walls, but no crenellations. There are traces of a bartizan in the west wall. There are also three chimney stacks.
