Parke's Castle
★★★☆☆
Rising three storeys tall, in an idyllic setting on the banks of Lough Gill, Parke's Castle is a plantation era castle.
The castle had extensive and sensitive restoration carried out at the end of the 20th century by the Office of Public Works. The window glazing was reinstated, and local artisans restored the timber stair and the mortise and tenon oak roof, using techniques of the 17th century.
