Castle Oliver

Castle Oliver is a mid-19th-century Victorian castle-style country house in southern County Limerick, Ireland, built in the Scottish Baronial manner by architect George Fowler Jones for the Oliver sisters. The house was designed for entertaining and contains a ballroom, drawing room, library and ornate interiors with hand-painted ceilings, stained glass and verre églomisé panels; it stands on massive terraces above extensive lawns and historically contained a very large wine cellar.

As it stood in 1855

The shape it held in its prime.

A rectangular, mid-19th-century Scottish Baronial country house in warm pink sandstone with crow-stepped gables, a square tower and at least one small round turret capped with a conical roof, tall clustered chimneys and rows of tall sash windows. The main block sits behind a low terraced balustrade above broad lawns and a central gravel approach, the roofline punctuated by chimneys and a pointed turret; at its prime the stonework and slate roofs were intact and the terraces formally maintained.
