Nenagh Castle (Irish Castle of the Fair or Castle of the Fair of Ormond) ist ein Tower House in der Stadt Nenagh im Nordteil des Irish Countys Tipperary. https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nenagh_Castle

Nenagh Castle (Irish: Caisleán an Aonaigh or Caisleán Aonach Urmhumhan) is a tower house in the town of Nenagh in the northern part of County Tipperary, Ireland. The round tower is over 30 metres high and its diameter at the base is 16 metres. It is one of the finest round towers in Ireland. Its crenellated crown and the arched windows below were added in the mid-19th century. Although these additions do not reflect the true historical character of the castle, they established Nenagh Castle's iconic status. It appears in many local club and institution logos, including that of Nenagh Town Council. The Norman keep was built by Theobald Walter, 1st Baron Butler, around 1200; His son, Theobald de Botiller, had it completed around 1220. In 1861, Bishop Michael Flannery had the row of clerical windows and the crenellated crown built because the keep was to be the bell tower of a cathedral designed by Edward Pugin. This cathedral, however, was never built. From 2009 to 2013, the castle and its grounds were extensively restored. The aim was to establish Nenagh Castle as the main tourist attraction in the area. Today, the round tower is open to the public. https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nenagh_Castle
