Mitchelstown Castle
Mitchelstown Castle was a large early 19th-century neo-Gothic country house in Mitchelstown, County Cork, built as the seat of the Earls of Kingston. The Pain brothers' replacement house (built after 1823) contained dozens of principal bedrooms, a 100‑foot gallery and multiple libraries. The castle was occupied and burned in August 1922; its stones were later quarried for other buildings and the site is now cleared and repurposed.

As it stood in 1830
The shape it held in its prime.
A long, castellated neo‑Gothic mansion with an extended crenellated roofline punctuated by square, multi-storey towers and several cylindrical drum towers at the corners; a low battlemented curtain wall runs along a raised rocky terrace. The façade shows regular tall mullioned windows in several orders across a three‑storey central block; pale ashlar stonework gives a light grey tone. The house sits above wooded slopes with lawns and distant low hills and a river beyond; fully intact with continuous battlements at its prime.
