About Ormond Castle

Ormond Castle in Carrick-on-Suir, under the guardianship of the Office of Public Works since 1947, stands as Ireland's prime example of an Elizabethan manor house. Built upon the remains of a medieval stronghold dating back to the 1300s, its current structure, primarily from the 14th and mid 16th centuries, boasts two tall towers attributed to Edmund Mac Richard Butler. The castle's prominence is attributed to Thomas Butler, 10th Earl of Ormond, who enhanced it with Tudor-style elements, inspired by his close ties to Queen Elizabeth I. Noteworthy features include a grand gallery adorned with allegorical figures and references to Queen Elizabeth, along with intricate stucco plasterwork and original oak paneling, reflecting its historical grandeur.
