Dromore Castle, Medieval castle in Templenoe, Ireland.

The castle features a castellated Gothic Revival exterior with Roman cement walls, limestone decorations, and a prominent south-facing pointed arch window.

Construction of Dromore Castle began in 1831 under Denis Mahony, a Church of Ireland minister who established a soup kitchen during the Great Famine.

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

The castle property, managed by an investment company, stands near the N70 road between Kenmare and Sneem, marked by a castellated gatehouse.

Harold Segerson Mahony, the last resident of the castle from the original family, won the Wimbledon tennis championship and maintained a court in the gardens.
