Although it was once a fortress, Ormond Castle in Carrick-on-Suir is known as the finest surviving Tudor manor house in Ireland. It was built by the Butler family, the Earls of Ormonde who were given their title by the English crown in 1328. The finest room is the Long Gallery which has a stuccoed ceiling studded with heraldic crests, and two ornately carved fireplaces.
