Slade Castle, Tower house and national monument in County Wexford, Ireland
The four-story tower castle features vaulted ceilings, crenellations, and a fortified entrance with a murder hole and machicolation for defense purposes.
The Laffin family constructed the castle in the late 1400s and maintained control for 450 years until the 1641 Rebellion changed its ownership.
The castle represents the architectural patterns of Anglo-Norman colonists who settled in Ireland following the invasion of 1169.
The ground floor contains three separate rooms that were designated for storage, while the upper levels housed the main living quarters.
The castle provides strategic views of Bannow Bay and Waterford Harbour from its Irish-style crenellated parapet, which served defensive purposes.
