Drishane Castle is an imposing rectangular five-story tower house. Built between 1436 and 1450 by the then Lord of Munster, Dermot McCarthy, it was passed to the Wallis family in 1719. They sold it in 1900. Today it is no longer lived in but in excellent condition and open to the public. Highlights include a lovely spiral stairway, good slit windows, and an attached 16th-century round tower. Walk to the top of the tower for wonderful views of mountains and lakes all the way to Killarney.
