Baltimore Castle

A beautifully restored 13th century Norman Hall House, Baltimore Castle, also known as Dún na Séad Castle, is located in the heart of the historic fishing village of Baltimore, West Cork. 


Overlooking Roaring Water Bay and Carbery's hundred isles, it was once the stronghold of the O'Driscoll Clan and is now one of Ireland's few National Monuments occupied as a family home.
