Donegal Castle
Donegal Castle is a late medieval tower house and manor complex in the centre of Donegal Town, County Donegal, Ireland. Built as the O'Donnell stronghold in the 15th century, it later received a Jacobean manor wing and a small gatehouse and is today conserved and open to the public.

As it stood in 1620
The shape it held in its prime.
A tall 15th-century rectangular keep with a projecting angular corner tower stands attached to a later Jacobean manor wing with steep gabled dormers and large mullioned windows. A small gatehouse mirrors the keep’s stonework. Most masonry is rough grey local limestone with some sandstone dressings; a 17th-century boundary wall encloses a grassed courtyard. In prime condition the roofs are pitched and fully covered, the tower and manor display multiple glazed mullioned windows and timber floors internally.
