Baggotrath Castle, Medieval castle in Dublin, Ireland.
The rectangular limestone castle was constructed on the banks of River Dodder with multiple defensive architectural features spread across its structure.
Built in the early 1300s by the Bagod family, the castle changed ownership to the Fitzwilliam family and served as their residence until 1550.
The castle's name influenced the development of modern Dublin, with Baggot Street and Baggotrath Lane preserving its historical connection.
The castle site, located near numbers 44-46 Upper Baggot Street facing Waterloo Road, was completely demolished between 1821 and 1842.
The fortress played a decisive role in the 1649 Battle of Rathmines, when Colonel Michael Jones defeated Royalist troops attempting to capture it.
