Ballymalis Castle, Medieval tower house near River Laune, Ireland.
The rectangular tower house rises four stories high with an attic, featuring bartizans at its southwest and northeast corners along the River Laune.
The O'Moriarty clan constructed Ballymalis Castle in the early 16th century, followed by renovations from the Ferris family later that century.
The architectural elements of Ballymalis Castle, including its decorated windows with mullions and transoms, demonstrate medieval Irish building techniques.
Located 4.3 kilometers northwest of Beaufort in County Kerry, the castle remains accessible to visitors throughout the year.
The castle retains sections of its original alure, a defensive wall-walk that allowed guards to patrol the castle perimeter.
