Galtee Castle

Galtee Castle, Country house in Skeheenarinky, Ireland.

Galtee Castle was a large country house at Skeheenarinky, on the foothills of the Galtee Mountains about 10 km north-east of Mitchelstown, in County Tipperary. It began around 1780 as a hunting lodge for Robert King, 2nd Earl of Kingston, was remodelled around 1825 by the 3rd Earl and enlarged around 1892 for Abel Buckley. Only parts of the lower foundations remain, with estate cottages and two gate houses nearby.

Built around 1780 as a hunting lodge for Robert King, 2nd Earl of Kingston, it was remodelled by the 3rd Earl around 1825. In the 1850s debts forced the Kingstons to sell the lodge and some 20,000 acres. Abel Buckley, sole owner since 1873, inherited the estate from his brother Nathaniel and expanded the building around 1892.

The house took its name from the Galtee Mountains, called na Gaibhlte in Irish. Its grounds later became Galtee Castle Woods, a public amenity with trails through the former demesne, while two gate houses and some estate cottages still stand near the site.

The location now operates as a public recreation area known as Galtee Castle Woods and can be visited on foot through the local countryside. Several historic cottages and gate lodges scattered across the grounds help mark the former estate's extent.

The house was dismantled around 1941 after the Land Commission sold it to Fr. Tobin of Glanworth, County Cork, who wanted its stone and slates for a new church in his parish. Only parts of the lower foundations remain, with estate cottages and two gate houses nearby.
