| Description | A Gothic Revival castle built about 1815; it is not recorded by Leet. Located east of Lough Owel and north of Lough Drin, this castle was built by Sir Richard Levinge (1785-1848) 6th Bt to replace High Park, the Levinges’ old family home and was designed, most probably, by James Shiel. It was valued at £100 in 1906. The Castle remained the home of the Levinge family until the mid-20th century when it was sold. It is now the home of the Prondzyunski family. |
