Castle Oliver

Castle Oliver (also Clonodfoy) is a Victorian castle-style country house in the southern part of County Limerick, Ireland.

Their daughters, Mary Isabella and Elizabeth Oliver Gascoigne, both married members of the Trench family of Woodlawn, Galway.

It was designed by the York architect George Fowler Jones in the Scottish Baronial style and built in a local pink sandstone, quarried on the estate.

Fowler Jones had designed several substantial commissions for the sisters in the north of England, including almshouses and churches.

After that the castle changed hands several times, eventually becoming the property of a local bank, who broke up the remaining land, farm and lodges into separate lots.

[1] From May to September 2014, Castle Oliver was opened to the public in conjunction with "Limerick City of Culture" for house tours.
