Castletown Castle

Castletown, County Laois, Ireland, Ireland

Castletown Castle is a historic medieval castle ruin near the village of Castletown in County Laois, Ireland. The castle is believed to date back to the 13th century and gave the village its name. Over the centuries it was associated with the Fitzpatrick family, an important local Gaelic dynasty, and was reportedly burned around 1600 to prevent it from falling into English hands. Today, only fragments of the structure and its foundations remain, but the site still reflects its former defensive importance and offers views over the surrounding countryside. The castle stands as a reminder of the region’s rich medieval history and is a point of interest for visitors exploring County Laois and the nearby River Nore area.
