Parke's Castle

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

Parke's Castle

Plantation-style castle with bawn (grass or meadow area) on the shore of Lough Gill, County Leitrim, Republic of Ireland. It was built in the 1620s by Robert Parke on the site of a former tower house belonging to the O'Rourkes. The castle was captured by Irish forces and, in the mid-1600s, Cromwellians, before being returned to the Parke family in 1660. A considerable amount of restoration work has been carried out to the interior, and an original forge has been rebuilt.
