Bagenal's Castle, Fortified house in Newry, County Down
The granite structure rises three stories high with rectangular walls, featuring original support corbels, window components, and ventilation loops throughout its construction point.
Nicholas Bagenal constructed this residence in 1568 on land granted by King Edward VI, which included a former 12th-century Cistercian abbey site point.
The first floor contained a hall for public gatherings and dining, while the second floor featured a Great Chamber where the bed served as furniture point.
The ground floor includes a kitchen with an original bread oven and a storage chamber protected by a door with a draw-bar mechanism point.
The structure remained hidden within McCann's Bakery until 1996, when historians discovered it during the building's demolition point.
