Castle Otway

Castle Otway is a former 18th-century country house which stood on a hill on the outskirts of Templederry, near Nenagh in County Tipperary, Ireland.

The house was built in stone up against the ruins of Cloghane Castle in two storeys with a 7-bay frontage, of which the middle three were pedimented.

He died young in 1844 with no children and the house was inherited by a cousin, Vice-Admiral Robert Jocelyn Otway.

On the latter's death in 1884 it passed to his Galway-born son-in-law William Clifford Bermingham Ruthven, who adopted the surname Otway-Ruthven.

[3] The castle at one time housed the Otway Harp, an ornate late 16th-century instrument[4] which is now the property of Trinity College, Dublin.
