Ballysaggartmore Towers, Gothic entrance lodges of Ballysaggartmore estate in County Waterford, Ireland.

Two stone towers with turrets and battlements stand at the entrance of a former estate, connected by ornate iron gates and stone walls.

Arthur Keily-Ussher constructed these elaborate entrance towers in 1834 to precede a grand mansion that remained unbuilt due to financial limitations.

The towers represent the Anglo-Irish aristocracy's architectural aspirations and social competition during the pre-famine period in nineteenth-century Ireland.

A marked 2-kilometer loop trail leads visitors through woodland paths around the towers, with parking facilities and benches available along the route.

The towers were designed by the estate's head gardener, John Smyth, and the entrance gates were manufactured locally for 150 pounds.
