Shanbally Castle, Gothic château in Clogheen, Ireland.

Shanbally Castle is a Gothic stone residence located near Clogheen in County Tipperary. The building featured two stories with towers at the corners and numerous rooms throughout, all decorated with fine plasterwork and detailed interior finishes.

The structure was built in 1810 for Cornelius O'Callaghan, who held the title of first Viscount Lismore, and was designed by architect John Nash. It stood as one of the largest country houses that Nash had designed in Ireland.

The residence served as a focal point for the local estate, drawing people interested in its architectural design and interior craftsmanship. The rooms reflected 19th-century living standards, with their ornate plasterwork demonstrating the lifestyle and taste of its inhabitants.

Shanbally Castle no longer stands: it was demolished on 21 March 1960, so there is no building to tour near Clogheen. What remains is the former demesne landscape in the Clogheen area of County Tipperary, best reached by road and then covered on foot. Ground can be wet underfoot, so waterproof footwear helps.

The 21 March 1960 demolition used gelignite and cordtex, and the blast was heard up to 10 miles away. The government defended the decision by stating that, apart from periods of military occupation, the castle had stood wholly unoccupied for 40 years.
