Tully Castle, Plantation castle on Lower Lough Erne, Northern Ireland

The stone fortress features a T-shaped layout with a square wing at its center and a barrel-vaulted chamber serving as the kitchen area.

Built between 1612 and 1615 for Sir John Hume, the castle sustained severe damage during the 1641 rebellion when Rory Maguire's forces attacked on Christmas Eve.

The castle represents the Scottish architectural influence during the Plantation period, incorporating elements such as the quarter-round turret and scale-and-platt staircase design.

The castle grounds remain open throughout the year, while the visitor center operates from Wednesday to Sunday, 10 am to 5 pm, during July through mid-September.

The kitchen chamber contains an enormous fireplace with cooking recesses but lacks windows, creating a specialized food preparation space within the fortification.
