Woodstock Castle, Tower house in Athy, Ireland.
Woodstock Castle rises three stories high on the western bank of River Barrow, featuring stone walls and underground storage chambers.
Robert de St Michael, a Norman lord, constructed this defensive structure in 1201 to control a strategic ford crossing the River Barrow.
The castle displays medieval architectural elements, including mullioned windows and carved stone details that reflect Norman building techniques.
Visitors can observe the exterior structure from the riverside path, while the surrounding area provides views of County Kildare's landscape.
Local records indicate the presence of a subterranean tunnel connecting Woodstock Castle to White's Castle across the river.
