Parke's Castle, located in County Sligo, Ireland, is a beautifully restored 17th-century plantation castle that overlooks the serene waters of Lough Gill. Originally built in the early 1600s by Robert Parke, the castle stands on the site of an earlier 15th-century tower house owned by the O'Rourke family, who were Gaelic lords of Breffni. The castle features a courtyard, defensive walls, and various domestic buildings, all of which have been meticulously conserved to reflect their historical significance.
