Castlefreke Castle
Seat of the Earls of Carbery, whose family name was Freke, until the tenth Lord Carbery renounced his title. Originally built as a plain rectangular building in the late 1780s. Later in 1820, Sir Richard Morrison, who also designed the Pro-Cathedral in Dublin, transformed its character into an elegant castellated mansion for Lord Carbery.

The castle now is privately owned.
