Kinlough Abbey and Castle
Kinlough Abbey and Castle are located on opposite sides of the Black River. The church dates to around the 13th century, and is now roofless, with its south wall collapsed. It is believed the collapse was due to the building’s positioning on the edge of a steep drop. The OPW have carried out conservation works on the church, and railings cordon off the south side of the building.
The castle was built by the MacWilliam Burkes in the 16th century, and is known locally as MacWilliam’s House. It remained in their possession until 1629, when it was mortgaged to Valentine Blake of Menlough.
The castle is four storeys, though is now roofless. It is possible that the original structure dated from the 13th century as a two storey hall house, before being reconstructed into its present configuration. Various stages of remodelling saw new features added, including gun loops in the 16th century, and fireplaces and chimney stacks in the 17th century.
