Castle Oliver

Castle Oliver stands as a red sandstone structure in Scottish Baronial style, offering views across the Ballyhoura mountains through its numerous windows and terraces.

The current castle replaced an earlier fortress in 1845, commissioned by sisters Mary Isabella and Elizabeth Oliver Gascoigne, who inherited the estate from their father Richard Oliver.

The grand oak staircase leads to remarkable stained glass windows depicting heraldic symbols, while the ballroom displays hand-painted ceilings from the Victorian period.

The castle features 21 bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, multiple reception rooms, and extensive gardens, making it suitable for accommodating large groups of visitors.

The castle contains Ireland's largest private wine cellar, accessed through a spiral staircase and capable of storing 55,000 bottles beneath the main structure.
