Markree Castle
Markree Castle is a large castellated country house in Collooney, County Sligo, long associated with the Cooper family and set in a park on the River Unshin. The present exterior largely dates from the early 19th century and the estate included a private observatory in the 19th century. Today the building has been restored and operates as a hotel.

As it stood in 1830
The shape it held in its prime.
A rectangular, multi-storey grey stone house with a continuous crenellated parapet and small cylindrical corner turrets rising one storey above the roofline; the main block shows regular vertical ranges of tall mullioned windows and a prominent three-storey projecting bay with grouped windows. Roofline is largely hidden by battlements and punctuated by square chimneys. The castle sits behind a low dressed-stone boundary wall and iron gate, approached by a tree-lined drive and set in mature parkland beside the River Unshin.
