Tully's Castle, 17th century castle ruins in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland.

The castle features a T-shaped layout with a square wing extending from the south side, complete with a barrel-vaulted chamber and rectangular flankers.

Built between 1612 and 1615 for Sir John Hume, the castle was attacked and burned by Rory Maguire's forces during the Irish Rebellion of 1641.

The castle stands as evidence of Scottish plantation architecture in Ireland, incorporating elements like the quarter-round turret and scale-and-platt staircase design.

The castle grounds remain open throughout July and August, with a visitor center housed in a restored farmhouse near the entrance.

The original kitchen chamber contains a massive fireplace and cooking recesses but operated without windows, relying on fire and lanterns for illumination.
