@MoonlightLullaby When was Lismore Castle built?
in
1185 for King John originally built Lismore Castle in 1185. Lismore Castle was owned in turn by Sir Walter Raleigh and Richard Boyle, before passing to the Fourth Duke of Devonshire in 1753.
Now I was told that Devonshire family was very good to the people off Lismore and the surrounding area during the famine in Ireland By an elderly man 20 years ago by the late Tom Doocy and friend of mine

@antonioioio Thanks for the run down on the place. I wonder about each person and the encounters the castle walls have seen.👀
