When was Ross castle built?

Ross Castle sits on the edge of Killarney's lower lake and was built by O'Donoghue Mór in the 15th century. The Castle came into the hands of the Brownes who became the Earls of Kenmare and owned an extensive portion of the lands that are now part of Killarney National Park .

This very beautiful castle is Ross Castle, Ireland. . . The photography was taken by a great friend of World of Castle, @sergejk87 . . Please check his wonderful gallery! . . Ross Castle sits on the edge of Killarney’s lower lake and was built by O’Donoghue Mór in the 15th century. Legend of this castle has it that O’Donoghue still exists in a deep slumber under the waters of Lough Leane. On the first morning of May every seven years he rises from the lake on his magnificent white horse and circles the lake. Anyone catching a glimpse of him is said to be assured of good fortune for the rest of their lives. The large rock at the entrance to the bay is known as O’Donoghue’s prison. Ross Castle was the last stronghold in Munster to hold out against Cromwell. It was eventually taken by General Ludlow in 1652. ------------------------------------------------------------------ #rosscastle #killarneynationalpark #irishcastle #countykerry #castlesofireland #visitkerry #killarney #castle #castello #castles #castelli #total_medieval #castillo #medieval #castillos #europemondopics #europeanarchitecture #zamkoholik #descubreirlanda #ireland #irlanda #castlehunter #stronghold #medievaltimes #schloss #castelos #middleages #irishpassion #iloveireland @world_of_castles_ #castelo https://www.instagram.com/p/B8j218IABOS/?igshid=e1l8jjajlw4o

Ross castle. Light rain and overcast is not a reason that should stop us from exploring. It adds a little bit of mystery to the photos. Actually coming to Ireland, that´s what you kind of expect so you are surprised if you get some sunshine after all - which surprisingly happened when we were in Dublin for New Year´s celebration.
