Dromore Castle, Manor house in Templenoe, County Kerry, Ireland.

Dromore Castle is a castellated Gothic Revival manor house above the Kenmare River in Templenoe, County Kerry. Its walls are finished in Roman cement with limestone dressings, and most windows are pointed tracery set in rectangular frames, except the large south-facing pointed-arch window. The entrance hall forms a long gallery covering half the ground floor, and the west wing takes the form of a round tower with a spiral staircase in an attached turret.

Construction of this castle began in 1831 under Denis Mahony, a Church of Ireland minister. The property remained with his family across generations until more recent times.

The castle grounds contain footpaths along the Kerry Way walking route, leading visitors through forests toward views of the Kenmare River.

Access to the grounds from the N70 between Kenmare and Sneem is through a castellated gatehouse designed by Thomas Deane. The Kerry Way crosses the estate, and footpaths lead down to the Kenmare River. Most of the former grounds beyond the gardens and outbuildings belong to Coillte Teoranta, the Irish forestry board.

Harold Mahony, the last Irish winner at Wimbledon, kept a tennis court in the castle gardens that can still be seen there. The song "The Castle of Dromore" is thought to have been written during his time as head of the household.
