Huntington Castle, Defensive plantation castle in Clonegal, Ireland
The stone castle features multiple architectural styles, with a central tower house surrounded by extensive gardens containing French limes and ornamental fish ponds.
Built in 1625 on the site of a 15th-century stronghold, the castle fell to Oliver Cromwell in 1650 during his conquest of Ireland.
The basement of the castle serves as the headquarters for the Fellowship of Isis, a religious organization established there in 1976.
Guided tours of the castle operate from June through September, with adult admission costing 13.50 euros, including access to the gardens.
The castle incorporated one of Ireland's first water turbine houses in 1888, generating electricity from the adjacent River Derry.
