Ballintotas Castle

Killorga, County Cork, Ireland, Ireland

Ballintotis Castle, also known as Ballintotas Castle, is a small but well-preserved medieval tower house located near Castlemartyr in County Cork, Ireland.

Dating from the 16th century, it is thought to have served as an outer defensive stronghold for the nearby Castlemartyr Castle and was likely associated with the Fitzgerald family. The four-storey stone tower features many elements typical of Irish fortified residences, including thick walls, narrow defensive windows, mural staircases, battlements, and a wall-walk at the top.

Its upper floors provided more comfortable living quarters while maintaining strong defensive capabilities. Set in peaceful countryside between Midleton and Castlemartyr, the castle has undergone restoration work in recent years and remains a notable example of Ireland's tower-house architecture. Today, it is admired for its historical character, picturesque setting, and connection to the medieval history of East Cork.
