Mitchelstown Castle, Medieval castle ruins in County Cork, Ireland
The castle featured 60 principal bedrooms and stood as a prominent neo-Gothic structure designed by architects James and George Pain in 1823.
The first fortification at this location was constructed in the 15th century by the White Knights before passing to the King family through marriage.
The castle served as the residence for the Anglo-Irish Earls of Kingston until its destruction during the Irish Civil War in 1922.
The stones from the demolished castle were later purchased by Cistercian monks from Mount Melleray Abbey for their construction projects.
The site now houses a milk processing factory established by the Mitchelstown Co-operative Agricultural Society in the 1940s.
