Dunmore Castle, Medieval castle in County Galway, Ireland
The rectangular keep measures 14 meters by 8.2 meters at its base and rises five stories with architectural elements including mullions and arrowslits.
The De Birmingham family established the first structure in the early 13th century, which faced numerous attacks including a burning by the O'Connors in 1249.
The castle's Irish name, Caisleán an Dúin Mhóir, reflects its position as a former residence of the ancient Kings of Connacht.
The Office of Public Works maintains and protects the castle, which stands on the north bank of the Sinking River, 1 kilometer northwest of Dunmore.
A lime kiln constructed on the castle grounds during the 19th century adds an industrial element to this medieval fortification.
