Blackrock College
Williamstown Castle (commonly called 'The Castle') is the castellated boarding house of Blackrock College in Williamstown, Blackrock, County Dublin. Built around 1780 and later given a battlemented finish, it serves as the college's boarding accommodation and oratory within the wider school estate and parkland.

As it stood in 1938
The shape it held in its prime.
A long, rectilinear grey-stone building with a continuous castellated parapet and a square battlemented tower at one end; regular tall rectangular sash windows in rhythmic bays run along the three-storey façade. The structure sits well back from an expansive lawn and sports field, with mature trees in front and floodlight posts on the playing surface. At the castle's prime it appears complete and occupied, the crenellated roofline uninterrupted along the main range.
