Castle Oliver
★★★★☆
Castle Oliver is a Victorian mock castle in the south part of County Limerick, Ireland. Built for entertaining rather than for defense, it has a ballroom, drawing room, library, morning room, dining room and hall which feature hand-painted ceilings, decorated ornamental corbels, superbly executed stained glass windows and stencil work.
The castle stands on massive terraces and has a commanding view over much of its former 20,000 acre estate. The castle has Ireland's largest wine cellar, said to hold approximately 55,000 bottles.
It is believed that the castle was for sale in 1987 for ₤22,000 and included two gate lodges and 11 acres.
