Dromaneen Castle, Fortified house in County Cork, Ireland
Dromaneen Castle stands on a cliff overlooking the River Blackwater, presenting a typical example of Jacobean mansion architecture from the 17th century.
Built in 1610 by Caher O'Callaghan to replace an older structure, the castle served as one of three main residences of the O'Callaghan clan.
The structure received the Papal Nuncio Rinunicci in 1642, demonstrating the connection between Irish nobility and Catholic hierarchy during that period.
The castle site lies 5.3 kilometers west of Mallow town, making it accessible for visitors exploring the historical landmarks of County Cork.
The castle sustained heavy damage in 1652 during the Irish Confederate Wars when Sir Richard Herrill and Tynte of Youghal occupied the premises.
