Castle Otway, Medieval castle near Templederry, Ireland
The stone structure rises on a hill with a central seven-bay frontage, incorporating elements of both castle and manor house architectural styles.
The estate, granted to John Otway in 1685, remained a significant residence until its destruction by fire during the Irish Civil War in 1922.
The castle contained the renowned Otway Harp, a 16th-century instrument now housed in the collection of Trinity College Dublin.
The ruins stand on private farmland, requiring advance permission for visits, with nearby parking facilities available in Templederry village.
The castle features an unusual combination of architectural periods, merging a medieval square keep with an 18th-century Queen Anne period manor house.
