About Parke's Castle
Parke’s Castle, nestled on the northern shores of Lough Gill in County Leitrim, is a restored seventeenth-century stronghold with a rich history. Originally a tower house owned by Sir Brian O’Rourke, it later became the residence of English planter Robert Parke during the early 1600s. The castle, built amidst Ireland's evolving landscape, boasts defensive structures alongside comfortable living quarters, showcasing Irish oak interiors and medieval features like mullioned windows and a courtyard. Despite abandonment and disrepair after the Parke family's demise, restoration efforts in the late twentieth century revitalized its former grandeur. Passing into the Gore family, its legacy intertwines with Irish history, including connections to Constance Markievicz, while its setting inspired William Butler Yeats' renowned poem, ‘The Lake of Innisfree’.
