Place & story

A country house in castle dress

The architectural inventory dates the core of Roundwood Park to about 1800, with extensions and remodelling in castle style later in the nineteenth century. A rounded three-stage tower and unequal projecting bays give it an irregular outline. Battlements conceal the roof, while a granite doorway frames the entrance beneath a segmental fanlight. The inventory also identifies it as a former residence of President Seán T. O’Kelly. [2]
