Dunsoghly Castle, Medieval tower castle in St Margaret's, North County Dublin, Ireland.
The four-story rectangular tower castle rises 80 feet tall with square turrets at each corner and contains multiple vaulted chambers within its structure.
Sir Rowland Plunkett, Chief Justice of the King's Bench, constructed the fortress around 1450, and his family maintained residence until the late nineteenth century.
The castle chapel, built in 1573, displays stone carvings representing the Instruments of the Passion, reflecting medieval Irish Catholic architectural traditions.
The castle stands on private farmland near Dublin Airport's runway, requiring advance permission for visits as it remains generally closed to public access.
Dunsoghly Castle maintains the sole surviving original medieval timber roof in Ireland, which later served as a reference for renovations at Bunratty Castle.
