Grange Castle, Medieval tower house in Grange West, Ireland.
Grange Castle is a four-story stone tower house located in Grange West, County Kildare. The structure contains a narrow spiral staircase, two garderobes, and three Elizabethan chimney stacks built into its walls.
The structure was built around 1460 as a stone tower for the Tyrell family. It survived the Cromwell period after family members helped an injured soldier from Cromwell's forces.
The tower reflects how medieval Irish families lived within thick stone walls that protected both their homes and their status. Walking through its rooms shows the connection between daily life and the need for defense.
The site can be easily found and viewed from the outside, with information displayed at the location. It is best to wear comfortable shoes when exploring the grounds around this monument.
A coat of arms of the Tyrell family is displayed above the doorway of an attached classical-style house, linking different generations of the family. This detail reveals how the family marked their continued presence across the centuries.
