Description


Castle Oliver

Castle Oliver (also Clonodfoy) is a Victorian mock castle in the south part of County Limerick, Ireland. Built for entertaining rather than for defense, it has a ballroom, drawing room, library, morning room, dining room and hall which feature hand-painted ceilings, decorated ornamental corbels, superbly executed stained glass windows and stencil work. The castle stands on massive terraces and has a commanding view over much of its former 20,000-acre (81 km) estate. The castle has Ireland's largest wine cellar, said to hold approximately 55,000 bottles. From May to September 2014, Castle Oliver was opened to the public in conjunction with "Limerick City of Culture" for house tours.
