King John's Castle, Medieval tower house in Kilmallock, Ireland.

The four-story stone fortress features mullioned windows, Gothic arches, and battlements along the central section of Sarsfield Street.

Constructed in the 15th century, the castle served as an arsenal during the Irish Confederate Wars of 1645 and later as a military hospital in 1651.

The castle maintains its position as a central monument in Kilmallock, representing the evolution of medieval architecture and military structures in Ireland.

The castle remains under state protection as a National Monument of Ireland, with exterior viewing opportunities available throughout the year.

The structure includes a pedestrian passage through its base, created by a large Gothic arch that connects both sides of the street.
