Description
Carrigacunna Castle
Carrigacunna is a breathtakingly restored Georgian house alongside a beautifully preserved Norman tower house, both commanding a spectacular position overlooking the meandering River Blackwater in North Cork. Originally built by Henry Foott in 1826, this historically rich property boasts an unrivalled elevated position, offering panoramic views of the Blackwater Valley, extending toward the Ballyhoura and Galtee mountains.
The house is built next to a 16th-century Norman tower house, which holds centuries of history. Originally constructed by the Nagle family, a notable lineage, the tower is linked to Sir Richard Nagle, who served as private secretary to King James II. Following the Jacobite defeat at the Battle of the Boyne in 1692, he forfeited the estate. Legend has it that King James II spent a night at Carrigacunna during his retreat.
