Rossmore Castle, Gothic castle ruins in County Monaghan, Ireland.

The castle featured three towers with different designs, including a square tower with turret, a polygonal tower with cupola, and another square tower with spire.

William Vitruvius Morrison designed this Tudor Gothic residence in 1827 for the 3rd Lord Rossmore, with William Henry Lynn adding a Scottish Baronial extension in 1858.

The residence reflected the architectural evolution of Irish country houses through its combination of Tudor Gothic and Scottish Baronial design elements.

The castle developed severe structural problems after World War II, leading the 6th Lord Rossmore to relocate to Camla Vale before the building's demolition in 1974.

The structure contained 117 windows in 53 different shapes and sizes, resulting from multiple expansions driven by a competition for the largest room in County Monaghan.
