As it stood in 1820
What Lisheen Castle looked like in its prime.
In its prime (c.1820) Lisheen Castle reads as a three-storey Irish Palladian country house: a symmetrical rectangular main block rising three storeys with regular rows of windows and classical proportions. In the early nineteenth century castle-style additions were applied to the Palladian core, altering the roofline and silhouette so the finished building combines a Palladian main block with later castellate accretions; the whole stands complete and intact near Thurles, County Tipperary.
